Caracas, Venezuela (CNN) -- A day after officials announced the cancer diagnosis of Argentina's president, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez wondered Wednesday if the United States could be infecting the region's leaders with the illness.
Five current or former Latin American presidents have battled cancer in the past few years, including Chavez himself, who claims to have beaten an unspecified cancer.
Chavez prefaced his remarks at a military event in Caracas by saying, "I don't want to make any reckless accusations," but the Venezuelan president said he was concerned by something he finds "very, very, very strange."
"Would it be strange if (the United States) had developed a technology to induce cancer, and for no one to know it?" he asked.
Chavez cited the revelation this year that the United States, between 1946 and 1948, had carried out human experiments in Guatemala where subjects were exposed to sexually transmitted diseases.
That was 50 years ago, Chavez said. Will it be discovered 50 years from now that the United States was infecting presidents with cancer, he posited?
"I don't know. I'm just putting the thought out there," Chavez said.
The Venezuelan president, who has a firm anti-U.S. stance, frequently hurls accusations at his political enemies, domestic and foreign. He has repeatedly said the United States is trying to destabilize his government.

Maybe karl rove has a cancer machine behind his mighty weather machine.
“Prednisone does”
Bingo. I give Hugo about 12 mos to get his will in order.
I’d just as soon see him have a bad case of dynamitis.
Hugs!
Marxists are atheists. In Hugo’s case, his father was a test tube and his mother was a beaker. That’s his maker.
Penn is a CIA agent. His commie leanings are a perfect cover. :)
Hugo is behind his own cancer.
Cancer is the result of wrong diet, and wrong lifestyle; there is no way to ‘give’ someone cancer.
