While it’s hardly implausible that Chavez supported FARC (see this Washington Post piece), I’m not buying yet. Washington a couple million oily reasons to paint Chavez as a big evil (freely elected) dictator. Despite saying that the “oil belongs to the people” in Iraq, they don’t much like it when countries nationalize their resources, particularly when it takes from the likes of Shell and Exxon.
Also, just because Interpol says it’s real doesn’t mean it is either (and if you read carefully, they are validating the documents, not the presumption). Remember how many “experts” were sure Iraq had WMDs too…
