Summary \
------- \
 \
1. (C) XXXXXXXXXXXX discussed the status of the Catholic Church's role in peace \
talks between guerrilla groups and the Colombian government. \
He said he believed both negotiations were on hold ) the ELN \
would not advance during Francisco Galan's parole and the \
FARC consistently had refused all offers to date.  He \
commented that the Catholic Church's efforts to serve as \
intermediary had stalled, but it remained committed. \
XXXXXXXXXXXX claimed that imprisoned FARC "ambassador" Rodrigo \
Granda had prostate cancer and was reluctant to seek \
treatment outside of prison because he feared for his life. \
End summary. \
 \
------------------------------------- \
ELN's Galan on Parole but Little More \
------------------------------------- \
 \
2. (C) XXXXXXXXXXXX met Emboffs on September 22 and \
updated the Catholic Church's role in potential GOC talks \
with guerrillas.  According to XXXXXXXXXXXX, the Catholic Church \
is committed to peace with the National Liberation Army (ELN) \
but not optimistic that ELN leader Francisco Galan's \
three-month parole will advance talks.  Galan's release is a \
good gesture, but he will spend most of his time shuttling \
between Bogota, Medellin and Cali to talk with civil society, \
he noted.   XXXXXXXXXXXX said the Catholic Church decided to \
take a low-profile role in the Galan initiative, believing it \
would not amount to much.  He added that the Church remained \
frustrated with the ELN in the wake of its attempt to \
negotiate with Galan in July 2004.  The ELN kidnapped the \
Bishop of Yopal while a senior Church delegation was visiting \
with Galan in prison.  In XXXXXXXXXXXX's view, this underscored \
that either the ELN was not serious about talks, or \
disorganized and unable to control its fighters.  The \
Catholic Church had to forgive, said XXXXXXXXXXXX, but it had \
not forgotten the ELN's actions. \
 \
------------------------------------ \
Church's Bolo Azul Suggestion Leaked \
------------------------------------ \
 \
3. (C) All Catholic Church attempts to date to negotiate a \
humanitarian exchange with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of \
Colombia (FARC) had failed, according to XXXXXXXXXXXX.  He \
reported that recently the Church had attempted to select a \
prisoner exchange location that would be amenable to the GOC \
and FARC in Valle del Cauca Department.  Valle del Cauca \
Governor Angelino Garzon suggested Bolo Azul Village, and \
XXXXXXXXXXXX had planned to keep the suggestion confidential \
until the Constitutional Court ruled on the legality of the \
reelection law.  However, the secret reached ex-President \
Samper, who pushed the idea with the Uribe Administration. \
XXXXXXXXXXXX lamented that the Bolo Azul proposal had become \
"Uribefied," political, and therefore unacceptable to the \
FARC.  He hoped that the Church could advance another \
proposal in a less politically charged climate in the future. \
 \
4. (S) XXXXXXXXXXXX asked whether Emboffs knew about the state \
of FARC "ambassador" Rodrigo Granda's health.  He said the \
Church had discovered Granda had prostate cancer and refused \
medical treatment out of fear that he would be killed.  The \
Church has asked the GOC for permission to visit Granda as a \
pastoral duty to assess his health.  XXXXXXXXXXXX stressed that \
Granda is much more important than the Colombian Government \
knows and promised to keep the Embassy informed.  He said the \
GOC had refused to allow the Church to visit FARC prisoner \
Simon Trinidad last year, stating that it did not want to \
create "a Galan for the FARC" referring to the temporarily \
paroled ELN interlocutor Francisco Galan.  Nevertheless, \
XXXXXXXXXXXX was hopeful that Archbishop Castro would be allowed \
to visit Granda since he was incarcerated in Castro's \
pastoral district. \
 \
---------------------------------------- \
European Trip Interesting but not Useful \
---------------------------------------- \
 \
5. (C) XXXXXXXXXXXX reported that his recent trip to Geneva, the \
Netherlands and Spain had been interesting but had not \
advanced the peace process.  He spoke with several European \
officials, UN representatives, and unofficial interlocutors \
who agreed that the GOC's peace process with guerrilla groups \
had stalled.  He was impressed by the Europeans' interest in \
the Colombia peace process, but commented that one unofficial \
Swiss representative (Jean Paul Gontard) had offered the FARC \
different incentives to begin a humanitarian exchange and \
received nothing for his efforts.  "They (the FARC) have been \
stingy with him," said XXXXXXXXXXXX. \
