...judgment disallowing its evidence against him. Those papers included an affidavit which read: "The extent and gravity of the charges has grown... The payments based on the old and the new evidence are therefore more than three times greater than those based on the old evidence alone." The charges concern allegations that Zuma was involved in the payments of bribes by French arms company Thint during a 2000 deal; in 2005, one of Zuma's former aides was convicted of soliciting a bribe from the same firm. Zuma has long claimed the charges are the result of a conspiracy against...

Partly, this position needs to be understood as a rejection of the priorities of American Empire: When a resource-rich client economy jumps from the neoliberal bandwagon, as Venezuela under Chavez has done, it should be unsurprising that it becomes a cause for bipartisan concern. This past July, for example, Obama found himself in hot water for expressing his willingness, if elected, to sit down and meet with Chavez.
