Getting schooled by Uribe
Former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe is lecturing at Georgetown University. However not everybody is happy about it. Protesters gathered in front of the university to remind them that Uribe was responsible for the murders of many Colombians. Investigative journalist Kaelyn Forde was at Georgetown for Uribe's first class. She said he was cautions in his first lecture, avoiding controversial topics such as human rights and trade unions; although the topics did come up in questions from students. While Uribe is a heavily controversial figure there is much he can teach. But many still wonder why he, of all possible choices, was picked to lecture on global leadership.
