This news from Venezuela: Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson traveled to Caracas this weekend to offer support to Hugo Chavez just days after evangelist Pat Robertson called for the assassination of the Venezuelan president. “Be very clear that the position taken by Reverend Robertson last week was not legal, was not moral, and it must be soundly rejected,” Jackson said. President Chavez warned that if anything happens to him, the person responsible would be President Bush. He also said that if the Bush administration does not take action against Robertson then Venezuela would go the United Nations and the Organization of American States to denounce the U.S. for harboring a terrorist.
