Chimp_Junta may have to extradite Pat Robertson, the terrorist

Chavez seeks justice on Robertson remarks: "CARACAS, Venezuela (UPI) -- The Venezuelan government said it might request the extradition of a U.S. televangelist who called for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

Chavez said his government would take legal action against Pat Robertson, stressing that 'to call for the assassination of a head of state is an act of terrorism.'

Last week TV preacher and conservative personality Robertson said that the United States should not spend billions of dollars trying to remove Chavez from power. Rather the U.S. military should send assassins into Venezuela to kill the president.

We don`t need another $200 billion war to get rid of one strong-arm dictator,' Robertson said. 'It`s a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with.'

Robertson has since apologized for his comments though said he was also misquoted. The evangelist`s controversial comments were televised on his program 'The 700 Club,' broadcast by the Christian Broadcasting Network.
