Even Noozeweak Losing Patience!

"The fallout from the bush administration’s initial embrace of last week’s aborted coup against Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is far from over. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee plans to investigate and is seeking documents detailing contacts between U.S. officials and the Venezuelan military officers involved in the botched takeover.

"Those contacts, Newsweek has learned, are more extensive than the White House has acknowledged. Among those suspected of financing the plot is Gustavo Cisneros, a media tycoon and fishing buddy of former president George H.W. Bush. Otto Reich, the State Department’s Latin American affairs chief, said he spoke with Cisneros “two or three times” during the coup; the businessman says they spoke once. Blah blah blah. Good luck in prison.
