Authoritarian tendencies.

Editor,

BushCo -- who have lied, cheated, and stolen their way to cornering our federal government for their own benefit -- who torture innocent civilians by the thousand, break laws, and ignore our Constitution with assumed impunity -- who started a war of aggression in Iraq based on lies and attack to destroy critics of their war -- have the nerve to accuse Hugo Chavez, who enjoys the support of an overwhelming majority of Venezuelans, of "authoritarian tendencies." Maybe, according to the same logic that BushCo and right-wing Israelis have cooked up to starve Hammas, when Mr. Chavez stops exporting oil to the United States, the American people will finally throw the authoritarian BushCo criminals out of Washington and into prison -- Gitmo, perhaps? -- where they belong.
