Colombian Uribe Develops Swine Flu

HeadlineAug 31, 2009

Uribe first began feeling symptoms on Friday, the same day he met with other South American presidents at a summit in Argentina. At the summit, Uribe spent hours defending his plan to give US troops more access to Colombian bases, a plan that has been widely criticized by other Latin American leaders.
