CARACAS, Venezuela - Two former Caracas police chiefs requested asylum at El Salvador's embassy Friday amid investigations into their handling of violent 2002 protests that left 19 people dead, their lawyer said.

Henry Vivas, Caracas' police chief during the protests and Lazaro Forero, police chief until two months ago and previously Vivas' deputy chief, remain in the embassy," attorney Juan Garanton.

Ironic, isn't it, that as death squads heat up in Venezuela, the police who are targetted by them are fleeing to EL SALVADOR? How times have changed! The army, which loyal to chavez and his cuban castroite goons is targetting the cops who are not loyal to chavez, but loyal to the law.

Let them in, El Salvador.

Not to mention the fact that these two police chiefs would be valuable resources (from an itel. point of view) on how Chavez' Communist revolution is progressing, not to mention the foreign sources advising, subsidizing/giving aid and comfort to Chavez (beyond Cuba, Russia and Red China come to mind).

Stranger still is the fact that the president of El Salvador is a Palestinian who fled his homeland and became a successful leader elsewhere.

Good points, both.
