Chavez wants Clinton, 'other delinquents' to quit over leaks
(CARACAS) Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez on Monday called on US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to resign after the leak of embarrassingly candid US diplomatic correspondence by WikiLeaks.
Angry reaction: Mr Chavez (above) says somebody should study the mental stability of Mrs Clinton
'The empire stands naked . . . Mrs Clinton should resign,' Mr Chavez said in a speech, using his favourite description of the United States.
'It's the least you can do: resign, along with those other delinquents working in the State Department.'
Mr Chavez zeroed in on a diplomatic cable with a request to the US embassy in Argentina for information on President Cristina Kirchner's 'mental health'. The message asked if she was taking medication for 'nerves and stress'.
'Somebody should study Mrs Clinton's mental stability,' said Mr Chavez.
'I believe somebody should resign. I don't mean it should be (US) President (Barack) Obama, but the whole structure over there should fall apart, if only through embarrassment,' he added.
The United States 'attacks . . . disrespects' other governments, including its allies, and keeps tabs on other presidents, Mr Chavez said.
'Whatever was left of its mask has finally dropped away,' he said, praising WikiLeaks for 'its courage'.
Adding her voice to the debate with criticism directed at the US administration, Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice-presidential candidate, accused Mr Obama on Monday of not having done enough to prevent the leaks, in a message on her Facebook page.
Of WikiLeaks director Julian Assange, she said: 'He is an anti-American operative with blood on his hands.' - AFP
