Chavez learned his lessons from Fidel; now he's putting them to work.

Ruling party lawmakers defend the proposed law, saying it will protect children from violence and end what they call "selective censorship" by the news media, which they accuse of supporting the opposition. The also contend it will make broadcasters accountable to citizens.

You know, I don't think I've ever seen a case of censorship that wasn't "justified" by the need to protect the public. ;-)

Hugo Chavez will have to be stopped.

But the State Department seems to think folks like Carlos Castano are the problem. What the heck are they thinking?
