Chavez rather famously wrote a love letter to Carlos when he first entered the presidency, and ordered his ambassador to see to his needs.
And the Hollywood left, the Washington left love Chavez. These people are evil.
I hate to hear people say not to execute people like “The Jackal” and KSM.
These people sentenced to life have every reason to believe that some day some strange quirk may happen to set them free.
Oce dead, they are dead. You can call them martyrs if you like ,dead martyrs.
Better a dead Martyr than a live POS turned loose by some crazy loon like Chavez. Better if they had executed the clown that got set free in Scotland.
He said he believed Carlos had been unfairly convicted, and called him "one of the great fighters of the Palestine Liberation Organisation".
The Venezuelan leader has previously called Carlos a friend, and is reported to have exchanged letters with him in the past.
In his speech, Mr Chavez also described Presidents Mugabe and Ahmadinejad - who like Mr Chavez are strong critics of the US - as brothers."
Chavez doesn't even have to worry about how his support for known terrorists looks in the Venezuelan press. If they disagree ... he just sends in troops and shuts them down. The parallels here for the American press aren't far behind. I'm reminded of the war on FoxNews by the Obama administration.
Dissent is patriotic ... but only for dictators and the far left.
