I cannot describe how happy I am to know that Ingrid Betancourt and fourteen other people after so long will sleep under a roof in a warm bed free of fear, but free above all.
I believe that it is precisely because this was done through infiltration and deception and not through an assault that the damage to the FARC will be greater. They have lost a number of bargaining chips (I hate to use that word applied to people, but it's apt here), they know that they have been penetrated before and their level of paranoia will rise. This will only isolate and weaken them more. Good.
