Well it looks like bribery follows Chavez petrodollar tour.
A scandal over a businessman carrying a suitcase of cash on a government-hired jet has put President Nestor Kirchner on the defensive as he tries to help his wife replace him at this year's election.Claudio Uberti, a highway official who is one of Kirchner's key negotiators on energy deals with Venezuela, resigned on Thursday after he allowed a Venezuelan businessman carrying almost $800,000 in undeclared cash to travel on a jet hired by Argentine state energy company Enarsa.

Its a well known fact that All that cash that turned up in her bathroom was a kick back from Argentine gun exports to the US military. I guess those old Nazi's just keep delivering the goods. As for Chavez this money was probably for some bribe. That just how they do business down there. Ask Dick Cheney or look at Kissengers history, its all there. Nice try at muck raking unfortunatly this will just blow up in the faces of the US corporate military machine, if they dont find some wat to hush it up.
