Terrorist Haven In Our Own Backyard

Victor Hugo Chavez, the radical presidente of Venezuela was sheltering Columbian terrorists, but Columbia snatched one of the murderers right out from under his nose, and Chavez is pissed.

The incident is deeply embarrassing to Mr. Chavez. The Venezuelan president has been shown to have weak control over his security apparatus, and there is suspicion that some Venezuela officials harbored Mr. Granda. If that doesn't indeed represent an infringement on Colombia's sovereign right to security, it is hard to imagine what does.
Mr. Uribe has responded to Mr. Chavez's accusations by claiming he will deliver to his government the names and addresses of guerrilla members living openly and comfortably in Venezuela. Colombia has long had concerns about the FARC finding refuge in Venezuela. According to a report in the Colombian newspaper El Tiempo, Colombia has already sent a list of seven guerrillas and their location to Venezuelan authorities. What is known is that Mr. Granda had a Venezuelan ID card, had participated in a high-profile political event the day he was apprehended, has voted in Venezuela and lived with his family in a house with a swimming pool in an exclusive neighborhood.

After we deal with Iran, North Korea and Syria, we might need to do a little weeding in our own backyard.
