Carlos Alberto Montaner hits on Chavez with this byline in his article “Chavez and Fear” (thanks M):


Hugo Chavez has begun to kill and repress selectively
Until now, the murders — and they add up to about 100 — have been random.


 


I love the shot at the Carter Center at the end:


 


By validating that monstrous swindle, the Carter Center and the OAS demoralized and disarticulated the opposition, placing all of the nation’s reins in Chavez’s hands. Then they washed their hands and left. But that’s not even the worst part. The worst part is that Chavez, arrogant and willing to kill, will metastasize throughout Latin America. We’ll see.
