Washington expressed no interest Thursday in an offer by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to take in any of the 240 remaining Guantanamo detainees after they are released from the U.S. military prison. Chavez said he would have “no problem” accepting any of the remaining detainees in Venezuela. But the State Department said in a statement that “the United States has not received a formal offer through diplomatic channels to resettle detainees to Venezuela and is not contemplating resettling detainees to Venezuela.”
