More on American Terrorists
August 23, 2005 ( politics )
Our own home-grown religious extremist terrorist Pat Robertson of course. The BBC has a good article about Venezuela's and the OAS' response, as well as some nervous-sounding statements from the US State Dept. denying that Roberston represents US policy towards Venezuela. Of note:
Venezuelan Vice President Jose Vicente Rangel responds: "This is a huge hypocrisy to maintain an anti-terrorist line and at the same time have such terrorist statements as these made by Christian preacher Pat Robertson coming from the same country."
The vice-president also said the Organization of American States could take up the case, saying an inter-American anti-terrorism accord includes provisions against inciting others to kill.
The BBC adds at the end;
Venezuela is the fifth-largest oil exporter and a major supplier of oil to the United States.
