US might have been involved in 2002 Chavez coup: Carter

The United States knew about an abortive coup against Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez in 2002, and may even have taken part, former US president Jimmy Carter has told a Colombian newspaper.

"I think there is no doubt that in 2002, the United States had at the very least full knowledge about the coup, and could even have been directly involved," Carter said in an interview with El Tiempo published Sunday.

The former US leader said it is understandable that Chavez continues to blame the United States for the failed overthrow attempt.

3. I'm so glad he has the spine to put this out there!

I wish others who know the truth would do the same.

The US needs some real confession time!

Honesty is good for the soul.

4. Honestly, what are they going to do to Jimmy Carter? He's already very old and they

marginalized him from the beginning.. The Bushista's used the same tactics on Carter that they did on Chavez. Most of us know that he speaks truths.. however, Monday morning Joe dirtbag will be snarling vicious nasty's at Carter.

10. He says nothing about why he thinks that.

For me to accept his word for it would be an argument from authority.
