Perhaps if he were to react more like a statesman and less like a drama queen I would be inclined to trust him a bit more. As things are, he is a man of insults as opposed to a man of arguments. He and Uribe are very much alike in that regard. Now, it is my understanding that Colombia had previously sent the information about this case to Spanish authorities. It's up to Spain to decide what to do with the information but I doubt it can be argued that the U.S. government is manipulating Spain's judicial system or anything to that effect. If they see a reason to look into the matter as opposed to dismissing it out of hand, which was always a possibility, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

The truth is the Occident's interests will oust Venezuelan president Chavez takes what it takes, sooner or later.
