US Ambassador to Venezuela William Brownfield denied yesterday that the US has plans prepared for the invasion of Venezuela, a charge made earlier this month at the United Nations by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
A coup in 2002 that briefly unseated Chavez is widely seen as supported by the CIA and the Bush administration. At the very the US shared information with the coup plotters and did not inform the Venezuelan government.
Rest easy, good reader. I'm sure we would never invade a sovereign nation without a good reason, without hard and fast evidence of imminent danger. Would we?
Meanwhile, Hugo Chavez reacted angrily to this week's decision by Judge William Abbott in Texas not to deport terrorist Luis Posada Carriles to either Venezuela or Cuba, where he is wanted for the bombing of a Cuban airliner in 1976.
Chavez said during a visit to Brazil on Thursday that the U.S. ruling allows the Bush administration to protect one of Latin America's most notorious terrorists. He called Posada "the (Osama) bin Laden of Latin America a torturer, an assassin."Where are the "liberal" media on this story? Why do Americans remain IN THE DARK about the fact that we're protecting a terrorist? I believe that if more Americans knew about this story, about Posada, about what he's done, we would give him up in an instant, because he is terrorist scum.
The American people support neither terrorism nor terrorists. Mr. President, you're either with us, or you're against us....

Good article - however even from an interested humanist standpoint, Chavez's claim thst someone else if an assasin rings a bit hollow, since his administration as well as Bush's are at the top of a command chain that has murdered innocents - a fact much spoken about right now in Venezuela.
Those that feel the desire to be politicians are inevitably in most cases the worst suited people to such a position.
