15. the Bushies want to hide the democracy in Venezuela
Chavez was democratically elected. Bush doesn't want you to realize that.

<snip>from the article

During the testimony at the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Noreiga also said that the Bush administration would continue to support “democratic elements” in Venezuela, so that these “can continue to maintain the political space to which they are entitled.”

That quote is absolutely incredible. I am at a loss for words. The Bush administration is totally disrespectul of the fact that the majority of Venezuelans have voted for Chavez and believe as he does that the natural resources of the country belong to the citizens, not to multinational companies who come in to rape and pillage the environment and leave poverty and environmental devastation in their wake.

This HAS to get the light of day shed upon it by the mainstream media. Please write to your papers, your senators, your congresspeople....
