Bush starting another war in Latin America?....
http://www.yellowtimes.org/article.php?sid=1620&mode=thread&order=0

The training camps located in the Florida Everglades seem to have escaped the reach of the Homeland Security Office, created by President Bush as a way of protecting the United States against terrorist attacks. This oversight seems to come from the fact that this coalition was not set up to attack the United States; instead, it follows the tradition of the Contras and their terror campaign in Nicaragua, and other groups such as Alpha 66 and the F-4 itself and their terror campaigns against Cuba. This time the coalition between F-4 and the Venezuelan Junta has been set up to train paramilitary forces to terrorize Venezuela.

1. Remarkable, isn't it?
The US envoy acts like there is nothing wrong with training a terrorist group (all of this was in the WSJ article as well):


The United States was slow in responding. On September 30th, a few days after Chavez's statements, the U.S. Ambassador to Venezuela Charles S. Shapiro stated, "it is not necessarily a crime ... but we are in the full process of collecting information and we must follow all legal procedures ... if there is anyone to blame, our government knows what to do."

Showing a certain disdain and even annoyance, he also stated, "some Venezuelans have been receiving military training in the United States."

He further admitted that the information was also published in a Miami newspaper a year ago, but he was unable to explain why no action was taken by the Homeland Security Department. "We're not going to take action against anybody ... we haven't been able to make any headway."


Haven't been able to make any headway?

The group's STREET ADDRESS and PHONE NUMBER is on this page:

But, oh: I forgot he said, "it is not necessarily a crime".
