The Assassination of Hugo Chavez

For BBC Television's Newsnight, gonzo journalist Greg Palast flew to Venezuela to get the inside information on the man the Bush Administration loved to hate: Hugo Chavez.

Palast met with the president the Bushmen called a madman, a dictator — and then finds the man who took Chavez hostage (Palast wore a hidden wire for that one).

Here, from the winner of the George Orwell Prize for Courage in Journalism, are the inside documents that tell you why they wanted Chavez dead.

Follow Palast from Venezuela to Ecuador where, from the oil-smeared Amazon, he shows you the inside documents from the International Monetary Fund that are plans for a financial coup d'etat — as originally reported by Palast for Amy Goodman's Democracy Now!

Produced with Oscar-nominated cinematographer Richard Rowley. Based from Palast's award winning expose for Harper's Magazine and his New York Times bestsellers, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy and Armed Madhouse.
