NICARAGUA: Chávez intervenes, Washington participates
Only hours before presidential candidate Eduardo Montealegre treated a US audience last week to a tirade against Hugo Chávez 's 'intervention' in Nicaraguan politics (which he distinguished from US 'participation'), US immigration authorities intercepted a magistrate on Nicaragua's electoral council at Miami airport, withdrew his visa and expelled him.
