With the recent flare-up between Hugo Chavez and Felipe Calderon possibly inciting tensions among Calderon's supporters in Mexico, one wonders if the timing of the release of this statement by Michael Braun was sought to remind Chavez that Calderon and Mexico have plenty to present to the world as an indictment of the Venezuelan -- yes, now we can say it -- dictator, for his involvement in providing international support for the FARC and for his blatant and extensive interference in Mexican internal affairs.

Two other recent add-ons in light of your cite above: Chavez meeting with Castro (ites). Heroin population in Afghanistan is still a problem (very recently in the News, after quite some time of "silence" on the matter). PRD members murdered by murderers "unknown".

Thank you for the several comments across a couple of posts Alia.

It's the murders of the PRD leaders that truly create concern in my mind that there might be something larger going on as it relates to our story. I'm watching for anything I see on that very closely, so if by any chance you -- or anyone who may be reading this -- ever run across anything on this story please ping me or freepmail me.

It's not so much that I have a suspicion that something bigger probably is going on as it is that I shudder at the larger implications of what might be going on. I'm holding my tongue since no one has said anything publicly yet, but I would really like to see some answers on this one.
