"The evidence is a patrana - a tall tale - more anti-Venezuela propaganda from Colombia and the U.S." And the computer data itself, though certainly incriminating if true, is still open to interpretation: How much of the alleged Venezuelan support discussed...

"I had a revelation during the midterm elections," he says. "I was making my TV show, The Unit, early in the morning. And I thought, I don't know what these people's politics are, but we're all dedicated to this idea of working together. That...
Whether or not the truce holds, Ulster-men will celebrate Christmas in a mood of nervous suspense. Many a Christmas present will be refused or opened gingerly: it may contain a bomb.
