Bush Admin Funneling Millions Into Chavez Opposition Groups
The Bush administration is facing new accusations its seeking regime  
change in Venezuela. Documents obtained by the Associated Press show  
the US Agency for International Development – USAID – has given more  
than twenty six million dollars to opponents of President Hugo Chavez  
in the last four years. USAID released copies of more than one  
hundred contracts with the groups – but hid the names of about half  
of them. Larry Birns, director of the Council on Hemispheric Affairs,  
said: "This indicates there is a great deal of money, a great deal of  
concern to oust or neutralise Chávez. The US is waging diplomatic  
warfare against Venezuela."
