Here is part of an interesting article from yesterday's news:

http://prairiepundit.blogspot.com/2008/07/why-colombia-ngo-scam-worked-against.html
Quote:
As we learn more about the Colombian military's daring hostage rescue last week, one detail stands out: In tricking FARC rebels into putting the hostages aboard a helicopter, undercover special forces simply told the comandantes that the aircraft was being loaned to them by a fictitious nongovernmental organization sympathetic to their cause called the International Humanitarian Mission.

It may have taken years for army intelligence to infiltrate the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, and it may have been tough to convincingly impersonate rebels. But what seems to have been a walk in the park was getting the FARC to believe that an NGO was providing resources to help it in the dirty work of ferrying captives to a new location.

This isn't the first time I've heard of alliances between NGOs and terrorist groups. In fact, it's been known for some time that in the Middle East, UN vehicles are sometimes used to ferry terrorists and their weapons around.

Do you think that NGOs should be helping these people? If so, why? If not, what do you think should be done about the problem?

As a person who works for an NGO I believe that NGOs should first of all have a humanitarian face like helping people, which is an ethical requirement. But there is also a legal requirement which says NGOs should abide by laws and not cooperate with violent or illegal groups.
