| Taken Questions Office of the Spokesman Washington, DC November 7, 2002 Question Taken At November 7, 2002 Daily Press Briefing Release of Gilberto Rodriquez OrejuelaQuestion: What is the State Department's reaction to the release of Gilberto Rodriquez Orejuela by a Colombian judge yesterday?
Answer: The judge's decision to release Rodriguez Orejuela was unfortunate. The illegal activities of the Rodriguez Orejuela brothers are of concern to us and to the government of Colombia that has made every effort to prevent their release. This is an internal matter for Colombian authorities to work out. For further comment, I would refer you to the Colombian government.
