"Republican Senator Lincoln Chafee to Condoleezza Rice: Bush Administration Disrespectful to the Venezuelan People" Democracy Now (January 19, 2005)

Condoleezza Rice singled out Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez at her confirmation hearing for Secretary of State calling his rule "very deeply troubling." The most interesting exchange came from Republican Senator Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island. We play an excerpt of the hearing and speak with Larry Birns of the Council on Hemispheric Affairs.
