Robertson denies calling for the assassination
of Chavez, then apologizes for doing so
Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson apologized Wednesday for calling for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, only hours after he denied saying Chavez should be killed. "Is it right to call for assassination?" Robertson said. "No, and I apologize for that statement." On Wednesday, he initially denied having called for Chavez to be killed, but later issued the apology for the comments on his Web site, but defended the underlying logic.
