From Associated Press
CARACAS, Venezuela — A street march by hundreds of Venezuelans opposed to
President Hugo Chavez turned violent Saturday, when people believed to be
government supporters threw rocks and tear-gas canisters at the protesters.
Skoro Chavez jest naszym wrogiem to po jakiego mu bron i "gaz lzawiacy"
sprzedajemy?
We don't like you much, Mr. Chavez, but here are your guns ... Hard to know
what the State Department was figuring on this one:
CARACAS, VENEZUELA – While the Bush administration engages in a war of words
with Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, the US government has been giving
permits to American arms dealers to sell weapons, tear gas, and other riot-
control equipment to Venezuela.
At the same time, the US Congress has indirectly funded anti-Chávez pro-
democracy groups.
"It's a bizarre working at cross- purposes," says Adam Isacson, who follows
Venezuela for the left-leaning Center for International Policy in
Washington. "You have bad relations with this government, and you're selling
them the means to put down opposition protests."
Defense and Commerce department records show that in 2002, Washington issued
licenses to export to Venezuela more than 7,000 pistols and rifles and 22
million rounds of ammunition, as well as riot-control equipment and
interrogator sets. In 2003, it issued licenses for $43 million in military
equipment sales, including a million cartridges, 1,000 pistols, and
ammunition. Last year it issued $24.6 million in licenses, including $425,000
in tear gas. This year, the US has approved export licenses for police gear,
restraint devices such as leg irons, stun gun-type arms and chemical agents.
