GREG PALAST, greg@gregpalast.com, http://www.gregpalast.com Palast, reporting for BBC Television's Newsnight, interviewed President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. Palast said today: "Venezuela is actually the second front in the Bush war against Iraq. During the 1973 oil embargo, it was Venezuela that the Western oil companies turned to in order to maintain supply and break the back of the Arab embargo. In order to continue that control over oil supply and price during an invasion of Iraq, the Bush administration is pushing hard to get rid of the non-compliant, elected government of Hugo Chavez."
