M.HERALD/ A.OPPENHEIMER/ OPINION:
"Colombia's right-of-center President Juan Manuel Santos may have been kidding when he recently said that radical leftist Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez is his ``new best friend,'' but few in Washington are laughing.
There is a growing feeling in the U.S. capital -- especially in Congress -- that Santos is moving closer to Chávez, and shifting away from Colombia's close alliance with the United States over the past eight years."
ALSO, President Santos and Rafael Correa announced the restoration of full diplomatic relations broken off in March 2008 after Colombia bombed a FARC camp in Ecuadorian territory, killing 26 including its No. 2 Raul Reyes.
