Cameras of the Colombian military captured that dramatic moment when Ingrid Betancourt and 14 other hostages realize they are free. Now Colombia's FARC rebel group says it was betrayed by its own men in that daring escape --- the group's provided no details, but these are the two men it's pointing its fingers at---Cesar and Enrique, seen here after their capture by Colombian military last week. Both men were guarding the hostages, before their rescue by Colombian intelligence agents posing as aid workers. Colombia says it had infiltrated the FARC for the bloodless mission---A strategy that's part of a marked tactical shift for a military used to more traditional methods of confrontation---- Analysts attribute the change in course to this man----Colombia's Defence Minister Juan Manuel Santos---and his two-pronged approach-----infilitrate FARC and target their top leaders Pedro Medellin, Colombia political analyst, saying, (Spanish): "Upon the arrival of Minister Santos, there was a very important change in strategy, from the U.S. strategy of attack, of confrontation, of war on the guerrillas--- to a more efficient Israeli model. A model similar to the one followed with Hamas in which the top heads of the FARC were targeted, and that substantially modified conditions. They infiltrated and had successful infiltration" It was the strategy that Colombia used in March 2008 when Colombian forces crossed the border into Ecuador and killed Raul Reyes--a top FARC commander . Laptops recovered from the raid provided Colombia crucial information about the FARC--but also sparked a regional crisis between a pro-US Colombia and its leftist neighbors, Ecuador and Venezuela. But for Colombian president Alvor Uribe, the strikes against FARC have meant record approval ratings at home. And with the success of last week's high-profile rescue under his belt, Uribe met with Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez at a summit aimed to repair ties between the neighbors.

I've expressed all my willingness regarding this to President Chavez." For much of the year, the two leader exchanged charges that each destabilized their nations, but on Friday they shared handshakes and pledges to boost $6 billion in annual trade.
