Dear Tony
Our updates from Colombia do meet Bristol Indymedia's editorial guidelines as they consitute postings from Bristolians relating their experiences in another country.
I quote from the editorial policy:
"a posting about the situation in Iraq would be hidden
a posting from someone from Bristol relating their experiences in Iraq would not be hidden
a posting discussing how the amount spent by the UK on bombing Iraq could have funded x amount of hospital care for people in Bristol would not be hidden
The second and third examples make clear the link between local and global concerns."
I apologise if this final addition doesn't go into enough depth about our own experiences but we had hoped that it was clear - particularly from the way it has been front-paged - that it is a second update to a previous article that we submitted before hearing about the threats.
If it's not sufficiently clear to someone who accesses it via the open newswire then I'm sorry and we'll make sure it doesn't happen again, but I hope that you'll understand that in the circumstances - hearing that our friends had had an unprecedented number of threats in the few days since we visited - we wanted to get the update on there quickly and the prospect of them being in a mass grave by Christmas made going into depth on our own feelings feel so trivial it didn't even occur to us.
I hope thats cleared up the misunderstanding and we'll make sure that - in the (hopefully unlikely) event of having to append something to one of our updates again - we'll be more explicit.
Best wishes
Guayusa and Guayabo
