Here's a very interesting development regarding Venezuela...And from a U.S. Democrat no less.
The evidence must of course be so damning and implicitly dangerous to the regional peace - thus American interests - that he would break iron-clad Dhimmicrat partistan ranks in this heated election year.

Big-ups to Mr. Nelson.

CARACAS - Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida, at the end of a three-day visit to Venezuela on Saturday, blasted President Hugo Chavez for aiding Colombian guerrillas, blocking a recall referendum sought by the opposition and ignoring a flourishing black market for passports and other official documents that could fall into the hands of terrorists.

''We may reach the point where the U.S. has to treat this government as a hostile and unfriendly government to the U.S. and the U.S. interests,'' said Nelson, a Democratic member of the Senates Foreign Relations Committee.

Nelson described a tense conversation he had Saturday morning with Foreign Minister Jesus Perez over allegations that Venezuela was assisting Colombian guerrillas such as the FARC.

Perez ''said Venezuela had no ties to the guerrilla groups. I told him flat up that I respect your right to your opinion but that I disagree with you, and that is based on complete information, including intelligence that I have seen,'' Nelson said. ``He was silent after that.''

Asked later to describe that intelligence, Nelson said: "Obviously, I cant share the sources, but I can share the conclusion. We have plenty of evidence of participation by representatives of the Venezuelan government when the FARC is given safe haven to come across the border and communication with the FARC both inside Venezuela and in Colombia.''
