I received a lot of feedback on my recent column in which I argued that Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez upholds the principles of the U.S. Constitution more than President Bush does. I based my argument as much on the absolute respect for all civil liberties that Chávez has shown as on Bush's countless constitutional violations.

I was not surprised that many people were not familiar with Chávez's true record because America's corporate media have done such a good job of misleading people about Venezuela.

What I found surprising, though, was that many people do not seem to know what is going on in this country. Bush has violated the Constitution; that is not an opinion, but a fact.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that Bush has broken the law: spying, torture and torture camps, habeas corpus, just to mention a few instances.
