• All I can say is wow. This thread started back in April, 2002 with a bunch of links to stories documenting the evolution of Chavez as a totalitarian in Venezuela. The amazing thing is that it has been added to, constantly. A phenomenal resource for following the Venezuela saga. Free Republic thread here

• The debate on this thread is heated, although the title is misleading: Lawyer Arrested For Wearing 'Peace' T-Shirt.

Did the mall? Were the man's rights violated, or did a jerk get what he deserved? Reuters via ABC article here, Free Republic thread here.
