Chavez confirms he is willing to help negotiate release of US hostages

I suppose that Bill Richardson is not exactly on the "friends" list of the Bush Administration right now, not to mention the chagrin of Alvarez Uribe. Gov. Richardson will probably be placed on the "watch list" of Homeland Security for his co-operative attitude towards the Venezuelan President. At least, a western diplomat is realizing the potential of a symbiotic relationship with the Bolivarian leader. Will anyone else come to their senses?

CARACAS, Venezuela: President Hugo Chavez said Sunday he will try to facilitate the release of three Americans held captive by Colombia's largest rebel group even though he has lost contact with the guerrillas.

Chavez confirmed his willingness to help a day after New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson said the socialist leader had agreed to mediate a possible exchange of the U.S. defense contractors for imprisoned guerrillas.

"I told him that we're at their service, to try to help even though the issue is very complicated," said Chavez, speaking during his weekly television and radio program.
