Chavez Accuses US of Raid

Hugo Chavez, the Socialist dictator of Venezuela, accused the US of sending soldiers in a Colombian raid that killed a FARC terrorist leader. Chavez provided no proof of the accusation, and like many of his claims, it appears to be false. What he did not deny, however, was the the Colombians also found computer files showing Socialist governments like Venezuela's have been supporting the terrorists in efforts to destabilize Columbia. (The BBC reported that one file showed $300 million in government aid to the terrorists.) The news media in general has barely reported this aspect of the story, focusing instead on the how provocative it was for Columbia to cross the border to kill the FARC leader. See Chick's FAT CATS.
