Chavez's rebel ties discoverd via seized laptop

After a raid on a Colombian rebel camp in Ecuador, investigators found a laptop that implicated Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez for his role in working with rebels to undermine the Colombian government. The primary reason for this, it is suspected, is because of the Colombian government's ties with the United States. According to the discovered files, Chavez has been in league with the rebels for over 10 years. But the information goes beyond just Chavez; it shows that the rebel leaders have been in contact with people from all over the globe, including Europe and the United States. Venezuela's official position is that the documents are forged, but they bear electronic signatures from many of the top members of FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia), the oldest and most prominent rebel movement in South America. I won't delve into more details, but the article delineates some of the more interesting files found.
