Sean Penn, the gutsy, outspoken actor is raising eyebrows again.

Penn, who is an ardent anti-Iraq war activist, recently made a trip to Venezuela and spent time with tough guy president, Hugo Chavez.

His visit was met with mixed emotions in Venezuela with the country being divided among those who support Chavez and those who oppose his oppressive form of government.

Hmn, it almost sounds a bit like America.

Sean says he went there as an independent journalist on a fact finding mission and is reserving his opinion on the situation there until he's had a chance to analyze his findings.
