SALT LAKE CITY — Attorney General Sean Reyes made a secret trip to Colombia last October as part of an operation to rescue child sex slaves.

Reyes made the dangerous trek with Operation Underground Railroad, a Utah-based nonprofit organization that works with governments around the world in fighting child trafficking. It came just weeks before Reyes won his first election as attorney general after being appointed to the job in December 2013.

The organization set up the sting by posing as wealthy investors in a cartel's plan to build a child sex hotel in the Rosaria Islands off the coast of Cartagena. To celebrate the deal, they planned a party on the small island of Baru, where the traffickers would bring the young girls.

Reyes, who speaks Spanish, played the role of translator and bodyguard for the lead investor.

"I wanted to get down where I could make a difference, look evil in the eye and stare it down," he said.

The situation become tense when money exchanged hands, but local authorities did not immediately swoop in to make the arrests as planned. They were waiting for an official from the mainland before moving in. Meantime, the traffickers wanted to bring out the girls.

Reyes said he had to talk to the traffickers for 50 minutes until the takedown occurred. He said he had to stay focused and in character.

"We had to just sort of on the fly make stuff up," he said, adding he appealed to a trafficker's greed by talking about upping the million-dollar deal. "It was a little hairy for a while. … The hardest part was not wanting to kill the guy."

Tim Ballard, Operation Underground Railroad founder and CEO, described Reyes' performance as "masterful." Initially Reyes was to have a peripheral part, but his knowledge of business and law were instrumental in keeping the traffickers engaged, he said.

"He was able keep the conversation rolling and flowing and talk the talk," Ballard said. "It was just a total blessing on so many fronts to have him there."

The island operation resulted in 54 children, including five boys, ages 9 to 16 being rescued, Reyes said.

Reyes' campaign adviser Alan Crooks, who speaks Spanish, also made the trip playing the role of a business partner.

"It was very intense," he said.

State attorney general showboating with a nonprofit and selling b-grade action flick quotes to mormon news rags reeks of insincere motivations.

Yeah okay, some good literally came of doing this. Fair.

But it's closer to celebrities scrubbing exxon valdez oil off of wildlife than a sincere effort to help.

Who gives a poo poo, they've done more good in one day than most people will ever do in their lives. Maybe you should wonder why you felt the need to lower and debase the people who saved 54 children from being sex slaves.

Reyes pops up on the radio show I listen to from time to time. He seems like an ok guy, and is big on anti-corruption. The last two state AGs are about to get loving owned in court for it.

To elaborate, the canopy frame is probably full of explosives to shatter it during the ejection sequence. They would prefer crash rescue not cut into a detonator trying to get the pilot out.

I wish the govt would just get out of the way so the Houthis and AQAP can have a knock-down drag-out.

So we can make sure the action keeps going we can start lobbing Hellfires at whoever looks like they're winning.

Related to China in Africa chat from a few pages back, the Economist just published an interesting article on the subject.

Apparently they haven't been able to really convert economic activity to political power on the continent. It's also got a good chart covering FDI in Africa, and China is only 4 on the list behind Italy (lol ).
