Telltale computers pass lie detector

Its final, because Interpol says so. The laptop computers belonging to FARC commander Raul Reyes were not manipulated, and therefore we know that;

A. Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez directly financed the FARC guerrilla group, which both the US and the EU consider a terrorist organisation.

B. The presidential campaign of Ecuador's President Rafael Correa recieved funding from the FARC.

The computers, retrieved by Colombian forces on a raid in Ecuador, were scrutinized by the International Police C Organisation who say that can find no evidence of tampering. That means that the Colombian claims about Chavez and Correa based information retrieved from the laptops are true, I guess.

The question is, will the US add Venezuela to its list of states that sponsor terrorism? And if it does, can it morally still buy Venezuelan oil?
