Colombia accuses Chavez of "crimes against humanity"
Aug 7, 2010, 6:33 GMT

Bogota - A politically connected Bogota lawyer said he has filed an international suit charging Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez with 'crimes against humanity' for alleged support of Colombian guerrillas.

Jaime Granados, personal attorney for outgoing President Alvaro Uribe, filed the claim with the International Criminal Court at The Hague, alleging evidence of guerrilla camps in Venezuelan territory.

Granados claimed that Uribe, an arch-foe of Chavez, was not behind the lawsuit, but would be called as a witness.

He said he filed the case on behalf of victims of guerrilla attacks near the common border. Granados said he had also denounced Venezuela to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.

1. Uribe and his idiots shouldn't be going anywhere near the ICC.

You never know what will come out in discovery.

2. You'd think they WOULD want t keep a low profile. They must think their big friend, the U.S.,

which needs Colombia strategically, like Israel, will have their back.

It takes a whole lot of guts for the most dangerous place in the world for union members, the former worst country in the world for journalists until Honduras took the per capita honor, and the 2nd largest humanitarian crisis outside Sudan, to EVER point at ANY country in condemnation.

Very hard to swallow this stuff.

3. "It takes a whole lot of guts..."

Not for the asesinos sinverguenzas that rule Colombia. For them, hypocrisy is a talent.

4. This is all just for show

They're doing this to feed corporate media some headlines to bash Chavez with.

Unfortunately the ignorant will eat it right up
