Venezuelan foreign minister says Negroponte has "criminal record"

Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro attacked US Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte on Tuesday, calling him a 'petty official with a criminal record.' At the annual meeting of the General Assembly of the Organization of American States (OAS) in the Colombian city of Medellin, Maduro accused Negroponte of being 'responsible for disappearances, for tortures and for deaths in Central America and in several parts of the world.' He further termed him a 'character of the worst kind.' Maduro was reacting to comments by Negroponte, who on Monday called upon Venezuela to actively combat the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) that 'have sought sanctuary' in its territory. Maduro accused Negroponte of seeking to 'drive the wedge of intrigue' at the Medellin gathering and to determine the agenda of the meeting.

  1. John Negroponte is the U.S. equivalent of Nazi Germany's Heinrich Himmler. He was put in charge of all Death Squads in Latin America and did such a superb job that he was promoted.

    Every Latin America expansionist venture of the U.S. was led by specially trained and equipped forces under the U.S. government.

    Remember John Negroponte can no more change than a leopard can change its spots. If he is involved in any U.S. operation innocent blood will flow freely.
