Chavez Demands US Apology over Drug Claim

In Venezuela, President Hugo Chavez called for an apology Wednesday from US Ambassador William Brownfield over Brownfield’s recent comments about Venezuela’s role in drug trafficking.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez: "...What the Ambassador has said here in Caracas shows a real lack of respect to the Venezuelan government and people. He said that the trafficking of cocaine, heroine - drugs through Venezuela has increased and this is absolutely false."
