Hugo Chavez trying to boss the US around. Breitbart
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has contacted the US State Department's point man on Latin America to discuss the crisis in Honduras, US officials confirmed.
Chavez called Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Thomas Shannon late Thursday "to discuss the current situation in Honduras and the ongoing negotiations mediated by Costa Rica's President Oscar Arias," the State Department said in a statement.
The call came in the midst of San Jose-brokered talks between aides of ousted President Manuel Zelaya and interim Honduran leader Roberto Micheletti.[...]
Chavez said Friday that the negotiations, which are backed by Washington, are a "big mistake that come from the north."
The firebrand leftist leader, a top Zelaya supporter, warned that Arias receiving Micheletti amounted to a "trap" that was "very dangerous for democracy."
