VENEZUELA: Profile: Hugo's Left Hand Woman... American Eva Golinger.

NYTIMES / SIMON ROMERO /

   Eva Golinger, 37, is a former New Yorker who is constantly writing about the threats to Chavez's “Bolivarian revolution.”
   She edits the English-language edition of Correo del Orinoco, Venezuela’s equivalent of the Cuban newspaper Granma,
     She has even recently traveled with Chavez to Iran, Libya and Syria.
    “I’m a soldier for this revolution. I’d do whatever asked of me for this country,”she said.
    “Golinger has systematically attacked defenders of human rights and freedom of expression by presenting them as puppets of Washington, something far from the truth,” said journalist Andrés Cañizález. “Paradoxically she uses a right established in the United States, of access to public information, which Venezuelans do not have.”
