Bush as "the devil." To complement his anti-U.S. tirades, he has created a new alternative Latin American television network, Telesur - and has left free-speech advocates wringing their hands as he prepares to revoke the license of one of Venezuela's largest and most outspoken opposition networks, RCTV...
