We hashed through every possible scenario we could imagine, devising plans for anything that President Arroyo might do in response to Colombia's political maneuvering. We thought we had everything covered, including a plan in case he offered full cooperation.
Meanwhile, we had Luis, acting aa Maria Isabel Flores's executive secretary place a call to the Presidential Palace saying that Miss Flores was concerned about Colombia's actions and would like to talk with President Arroyo within the hour, as she was currently travelling and would be unavailable until then. Fortunately, he agreed to wait until that call before making any public statements. He was already in touch with Gabriel Morales and Alejandro Hernandez, the heads of the Guatemalan Congress and Supreme Court, respectively. They had agreed, he said to wait before making any statements. Luis suggested that they be included on Miss Flores conference call.
