It is at the end of the article by Andrew Cawthorne – a HUGE advance which would be a regular, not unusual, practice in a free press.

Cawthorne wrote

“’Venezuela is one of the very few countries with significant oil reserves which does not submit to U.S. dictates,’ wrote Glenn Greenwald, the journalist who first published documents leaked by fugitive former U.S. spy contractor Edward Snowden.

‘Such countries are always at the top of the U.S. government and media list of ‘Countries To Be Demonized’,’ he said.”

How do often do you find anyone cited as critic of the USA’s Venezuela policy in an article other than a Venezuelan official?
As somebody who follows articles about this very closely, I can tell you this is EXTREMELY rare.

Reminds me of the Iraqi WMD hoax when Iraqi officials (of course thoroughly discredited) were generally quoted to provide token balance.
Very rarely was an articulate, credible western critic – Scott Ritter, Chomsky, etc… cited.
