TRIPOLI, Libya – Two longtime members of the anti-American camp met Wednesday for talks about the oil market: Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi, who’s coming from the cold after the U.S. restored relations, and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who’s going deeper into the freeze after being hit with a U.S. arms embargo.

Gadhafi, his face partly covered by a large brown scarf draped over his Arab tribal robe, welcomed Hugo Chavez at his house, scarred with bullet holes and showing damage to some of the crenelated concrete at the top of the building from a 1986 U.S. bombing raid.

The two leaders met for about an hour in a tent near the wrecked home, but officials from both sides refused to disclose details of the discussions.
