U.S. DENIES ROLE IN U.S.-SPONSORED COUP ATTEMPT CIA Chief Tenet Testifies At Congressional Hearing Washington, D.C. - (GNS) - Testifying at the House What The Hell Did We Do Now Committee hearings yesterday, CIA Director George "George" Tenet said the U.S. was not involved in the U.S.-sponsored coup attempt in Venezuela. "Just because we overthrew the popularly elected Mossadegah in Iran in the fifties when he tried to nationalize the oil industry, and just because we overthrew Arbenz in Guatemala in 1954 when he attempted to nationalize American industries and just because we mucked around in Chile in '73, organizing demonstrations and assassinations that lead to the overthrow of their popularly elected government does not mean that we were involved in trying to destablize the communist, socialist, dangerous albeit popularly elected Chavez regime when he tried to nationalize the Venezuelan oil industry," Tenet declared. House members bought the testimony. "Yup, yup, yup, yup, yup," said one. "Makes sense to me," said another. The hearing was adjourned during Tenet's testimony. |
