Documentos en poder de EL PAÍS extraídos del ordenador de Raúl Reyes -el número dos de las FARC muerto en un ataque el 1 de marzo-, revelan que el presidente venezolano, Hugo Chávez, financió y armó a la guerrilla colombiana y le pidió que adiestrara a grupos afines al chavismo en la lucha armada. Este artículo es el primero de una serie.

it says the documents show that Chavez financed the FARC and asked that the FARC train Chavez (paramilitary) groups in Venezuela.

2. That's nice. EL PAÍS says it has "documents" from Reyes' computer, which is

(of course) still supposedly in possession of Interpol

Nary a word about how the paper obtained the supposed documents or why the paper is convinced the documents are authentic

Since these "documents" were discovered by Colombia and shared with US, that leaves only Colombia, the US or Interpol as the source. Both Colombian and US papers have recently published variants of this story, while Interpol has recently denied leaking anything to anybody; the current head of Interpol, however, is an American with an intelligence background who first obtained the position during Bush's first term, so there may well be some close Interpol ties to the current US regime

I'll content myself with citing the key clause in the story: Chávez (que aparece ya en los correos con el seudónimo de Ángel)

In other words, we're right back to the original game of insisting that Ángel is a codename for Chavez, despite the fact that some documents apparently cite both Ángel and Chavez, as discussed earlier in this forum

3. I'd go with the Colombian government on revealing the info

and why not??? and you have no idea how many documents there are yet to come do you? they are not going to release sensitive information publicly either that would jeopardize the discovery of the hostages, identities and whereabouts of key FARC members. selected items to embarrass Chavez, you betcha!!!

Colombia has no friend in Chavez.
