Chavez Death Conspiracy Theories Fueled by Venezuelan Government
CIA involvement a favorite
Hugo Chávez once said, "If they kill me, the name of the person responsible is George Bush."
Bush is long gone from office, of course. But now that the larger-than-life leftist is dead, some in Venezuela believe that the U.S. really is to blame. On Tuesday, Chávez's handpicked successor, Nicolas Maduro, said the president had been "attacked" by the country's "historical enemies" and called for a scientific investigation.

"Hugo Ch?vez once said, "If they kill me, the name of the person responsible is George Bush.""
Hey, shreek! Your daddy's calling!
Well... if the United States government is responsible for eliminating Chavez, I can only say that it finally did something right. However, I suspect that nature was the real culprit.
