Bush also gave him his backing on human rights concerns, which, coming from the gentleman responsible – in the eyes of most of the world &#45;&#45; for Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib, is perhaps damning with faint praise. But most disappointingly for Uribe, though understandably, the US President was unable to bring with him guaranteed congressional support either for Colombia’s Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the US, nor funding renewal for the so-called Plan Colombia.
布什还对他对人权的关注表示了支持，但是这种支持来自于一个在全世界大多数人眼中应该对关塔纳摩监狱和阿布格莱布监狱的存在负责的人口中，也许就大大打了折扣。但是最让乌里韦感到失望的，尽管这可以理解，是美国总统没能带给他他曾经保证过的国会的支持，无论是对于哥伦比亚与美国的自由贸易协定，还是对所谓的哥伦比亚计划继续注资。
