The Devil's Excrement

When he was leaving the Cathedral this morning, the Attorney General Prosecutor Isaias Rodriguez said that
the person being investigated whose inmuminity will need to be removed
is an active General, Gral. Jaime Escanlante the Head of CORE I.
Escalante has been quite visible in large drug busts in the area near
the border with Colombia. Rodriguez also said there were three more
people involved, one from the financial sector, another military and a
third one that “will not surprise anyone.

Rodriguez added that this is the result of a five month investaigation.
Hold it! Did’t he say last Decemeber that the case was “almost solved”.
How about other deatils like Danilos Anderosn’s wealth on a salary of
US$ 1,100 a month? Or the money found in his apartment (US$ 500,000),
his two apartments and ski jets? How about the blocking of streets
prior to the explosion near the site where it took place by the
intelligence police? Or the presence of high ranking authorities like
the Vice-President minutes after the explosion despite the risk implied?

He also said that the explosive device was not made in Venezuela and
that the CIA did not particiapte neither in the explosion, nor in the
activation of the device, only in helping those responsible escape teh
country (But they are here?). There were three meetings, one in
Maracaibo with eight people present, one in Panama with 11 and another
in Miami, no number specified. He closed by saying that the cosnpiracy
was to destabilize and the original goal was Chavez or him, but they
settled on Anderson. This last part is the least plausible and credible
of all the things he said.
