Former US president Jimmy Carter says that Washington may have played a role in a failed coup against Venezuelan leftist leader Hugo Chavez in 2002.
"I think there is no doubt that in 2002, the United States had at the very least full knowledge about the coup, and could even have been directly involved," Carter told Colombian paper, El Tiempo, on Sunday.
In April 2002, a civilian-military junta ousted Chavez for about 48 hours, but he returned to power again.
Former administration of president George W. Bush denied any US involvement in the failed coup.

President Carter says Rep. Wilson is Motivated by Racism
President Carter has stated Joe Wilson's outburst was motivated by racism:
Former President Jimmy Carter said Tuesday that U.S. Rep. JoeWilson's outburst to President Barack Obama during a speech to Congress last week was an act "based on racism" and rooted in fears of a black president."I think it's based on racism," Carter said at a town hall held at his presidential center in Atlanta.

The Georgia Democrat said the outburst was a part of a disturbing trend directed at the president that has included demonstrators equating Obama to Nazi leaders.
How long until America gets tired of being called a racist and starts to resent Obama?
