Was there a plot to kill Bush in Chile?

If I am not mistaken some in here thought the same thing, and now it makes the news. Hmmm Maybe Bush saved a very bad experience for the Western hemisphere.

Geopolitical expert Jack Wheeler describes disturbing security stare down

Dr. Jack Wheeler, creator of a unique intelligence website dubbed "the oasis for rational conservatives," features a column describing what could have turned into a deadly scenario in Chile for President Bush.

On his website, To the Point, Wheeler tells a little-known story about a conflict between Bush's security detail and Chile's security over the latter's refusal to have a metal-detector at a state dinner for the president. There is speculation, Wheeler points out, that Bush-loathing Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a chum of Fidel Castro, is somehow connected to the incident.
Writes Wheeler: "The attempt was a clear double-cross, because all security arrangements are made and agreed upon for the POTUS (President of the United States) between the Secret Service and host country security well in advance and etched in stone. The Chilean police knew and agreed that Trotta would be with the president, yet they blocked him in a complete surprise.

"Far worse than this was Chilean President Lagos' refusal to have guests at a State Dinner go through a metal detector. No one attends a function with the POTUS, either here in the U.S. or anywhere in the world, without going through a metal detector, and this was agreed to way beforehand in Santiago. At the last moment, Lagos refuses � then cancels the dinner when the Secret Service won�t budge."

The attempt was a clear double-cross, because all security arrangements are made and agreed upon for the POTUS (President of the United States)

- Cooo imagine that. Does this 'justify' Chavez's removal now!?

If we can prove it, you bet. It is called the Monroe doctrine and it hasn't changed any after the fall of the USSR.

I'd be very careful about repeatedly attempting to remove a head of state and coming to rely on stuff like "somehow connected to the incident" as 'justification Ed.

If it is tenuous nonsense (and let's face it all but the blind believers in the USA will need some seriously strong and convincing evidence to suggest otherwise......waaaaaay beyond the Iraq shambles) just think what this is doing to the US, even amongst friends.

Look Panama was a recent example OK? Proof? of course you would need it. If true though..........ouch wouldn't want to be him.
