thousands of deaths and still the victims of paramilitary violence in Colombia are fighting for justice.</p> <p>Last month the Colombian government handed over a group of former paramilitary commanders to the US to face drug charges, but that is a move that may make it harder to find those responsible for other crimes.</p> <p>The paramilitaries had been in Colombian custody as part of a reconciliation process.</p> <p>In exchange for demobilizing their armies, admitting their crimes and paying compensation to the victims they'd get short jail terms.</p> <p>But the extraditions have brought a halt to that process, leaving those affected by paramilitary violence wondering if they will ever see justice.</p> <p>Al-Jazeera's Monica Villamizar traveled to the center of Colombia to

I was surprised, however, to see the Sacramento Bee article covering the hearings did not even mention the many murder victim family members who oppose the death penalty who spent all day at that hearing to share the stories I excerpt in my video. Instead, the Sacramento Bee only quoted a murder victim family member supporting the death penalty who did not even speak at the hearing.</p> <p>The online version of the Sacramento Bee article I am criticizing is available at: <a href="http://www.sacbee.com/111/story/626308.html">www.sacbee.com</a> </p> <p>Video of the entire January 10, 2008, hearing is available from the California Channel at:
