"Great without having to die, and that in Colombia is an incredible feat . . . Contrary to all journalist principles, he is not after the story. The story finds him, there, in his refuge. His sources consult him and drink from and with him. He possesses privileged information, which surely will not die with him." —Jonathan Titler
