From the Associated Press:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Bush administration may severely restrict the movements of Venezuela's ambassador if pro-government activists in Venezuela engage in any more ''thuggish'' activities against U.S. Ambassador William Brownfield, a spokesman said Monday.

Meanwhile, Colombia's president remains a popular American ally who doesn't get nearly the same media attention as Chavez. I guess anti-Americanism makes for a better story line.
