Even as this "forced regime change" is being perpetrated by "rebels" armed and backed by Bush operatives (according to many reports from Haitian observers), the same scenario is being threatened in Venezuela, where the CIA is accused of trying once more to depose the democratically elected liberal leader Hugo Chavez.
