In April, fears had mounted that Betancourt, 46, might be near death - supposedly from hepatitis B. French President Nicolas Sarkozy dispatched Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, himself a physician, and an emergency medical team to Colombia to await her release. Betancourt's release was one of Sarkozy's campaign promises. But after waiting for days the plane returned to France, having failed in its mission. With Wednesday's rescue, Herve Marot, spokesman for the French support committee for Betancourt, warmly thanked...
