Bush considers labeling Chavez sponsor of terror
Apologies for the tardy posting!
The Huffington Post writes today about the Bush administration and Colombia tying Chavez to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC.
The latest proof, HuffPost says, is resurrected from the border dispute in March when Colombian troops recovered laptops and documents after attacking the FARC across the Ecuador border.
The Bush administration now wonders whether Venezuela should go on a list of "state sponsors of terrorism," implying economic sanctions.
HuffPost concludes that no one else in the region backs the Chavez-FARC ties.
