Silence reigns in Colombia rebel stronghold

The transcript discusses the alleged treatment of Ingrid Betancourt, a Colombian hostage, in a village clinic. Locals are divided on whether she was actually treated there, with some considering it a dangerous rumor. The community is tense, fearing guerrilla retaliation. Despite the eradication of coca plantations, the culture of silence persists due to past conflicts.
