Chavez: U.S. citizens arrested
Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez said Sunday that a woman linked to the U.S. military had been arrested while photographing a military installation, and several U.S. citizens were also arrested for taking pictures of a refinery, signs, he added, that Washington may be plotting an invasion of his country. Chavez's announcement, made during his weekly radio and television show, was thin on details and did not specify the woman's nationality or supposed role in the military. "We put her where we had to," Chavez said, without giving further details on when the incident took place or whether she had been released. "If she or any other U.S. official does this kind of activity again, they will be imprisoned and face trial in Venezuela." He also said that the other detained Americans were journalists caught while taking pictures of El Palito refinery, some 100 kilometers (62 miles) west of Caracas. They were released, Chavez said. U.S. embassy officials could not be reached for comment Sunday about the incidents.

#1 THis nutball keeps trying and trying to provoke a war. Not too long for now, he will start recuriting peopel to fly planes into buildings, and blame it onthe US, in his despereate attempt to blind people to his power grab. He's using the US the way Hitler used Jews.

#2 Remind me again what Noriega's thugs did to an American a little before Bush Sr. decided to invade.

#4 He's getting there. Just give him some time, a few more decorations for the chest, and some jungle fatigues. His mental disorders will come to full bloom in time.

#6 Taking pictures in preparation for an invasion? Why would we use a human for that?

Smile at the birdie, Hugo.
