That's what the poster titled this thread I'm linking, and it's a good title....
The FBI sending detectives to interrogate a college professor, and then questioning his students outside his office afterwards about his life. Here we go down the slippery path of dictatorship.

The responses are just as intetesting, esp to the whole "bloggers" business. Remember all the woe that has been wrought due to anonymous "blogs" ...the "witch hunts" that that are now routinely enabled and legitimized that were virtually impossible before the Net. For ANYONE deemed "dangerous" or wrong.
Sounds to me like someone in the Bush camp is REALLY desperate to get rid of Mr Chavez, who is so popular with his people that he was voted back into office after a mysterious "coup" forced him out of office a few yrs ago. Last I read, Mr Chavez was not encountering any street demonsrations, etc, or any overt opposition to his rule. He can't be covertly shot because this would arouse too much suspicion. We can't afford to let an outspoken critic of US foreign policy and Bush specifically, who is sitting on precious US oil, continue to remain in power.
So the final measure, the only one that has proved successful in the Us a number of times, will be tried: pay someone to start an anonymous "blog"maligning Mr Chavez, the govt will get upset over it, and THEN conveniently Condi and crew will pounce and start banging the drum about lack of press freedom and (from there) "Human rights abuses" maybe. All they need is one incident to start the balloon blowing up. So if Chavez is toppled it will be by his own enraged populace...(maybe)?
Conspiracy theorist? The world proves more and more of therm true every day.
Hey, maybe Mr Chavez is another Saddam Hussein. Maybe he IS a "dictator" who did business with Jeb Bush in the past, maybe his Florida firm helped rig both the 2000 and 2004 elections, both sides making a tidy profit, and now that Mr Chavez is being asked to do things by The Bushies he doesn't like. So now they are trying to paint him a dicator and force him out, now that he won't do what we want him to anymore. (read all the posts.) How many times in recent US history have we turned on leaders who don't do what we want them to anymore, but try to be independent and look out for their OWN people first?
