#1 "Rodriguez claimed that ringleaders wanted to use a Venezuelan air force F-16 fighter jet to bomb the presidential palace while Chavez would be there broadcasting his weekly program, "Hello President." The Colombian irregulars were supposed to have seized the area around the palace, Rodriguez said."

And therein lies the money quote. All the F-16 drivers in the VAF and most of their senior officers were - at one point or another - trained in the US. Any bets on when Hugo will publicly make that link?...
