Even Ekvall's Statement Discredits Rendón

Narco News reader Steven Hunt, today, flushed Eric Ekvall out on the opposition's Caracas Chronicles blog, in response to my report today.

Ekvall wrote:

Flail away all you like, Steven, and find ominous conspiracies (spawned, of course, by that inimitable conspiracy theorist and smear artist who runs Narco News) under every rock, but I have no idea who Randon is, and if you're referring to JJ Rendon, I'd never heard of him until this last week, and therefore have never met him, or worked with him or corresponded with him...

Given El Mundo's report that J.J. Rendón lies about his resume, this could actually be one of those rare moments in which Ekvall is telling the truth. Maybe he doesn't know him (although both claim to have been political consultants for disgraced and impeached embezzling president Carlos Andrés Pérez... as if anybody would admit that in 2004!).

One or the other is lying. You decide: Ekvall or Rendón?

I know, I know... that's a tough one!

They both could be lying, though. But they can't both be telling the truth.

I got more escualido mail today, from the junior son of a drug czar!, which I will post shortly.

They're all reading Narco News, and getting their panties all in a bunch!

¡Bienvenidos a todos!
