Interesting. I read in the Spanish press that Hugo's deal for the military aircraft from Spain caused a fair amount of turmoil in VZ because it was a no-bid contract and furthermore, it was not submitted to the legislature, as is apparently required in VZ law.
Chavez is becoming very blatant in sidestepping the political structure, and I wonder if people are getting a bit uneasy about this.
My neighbor is Venezuelan with dual citizenship. He visited his father recently and required an armed guard while in the country. I was relieved he was able to return. He won't talk about conditions or politics except to say that they are messed up.

Background please.

But hey, we can't get US troops killed.
So here's the plan. Draw up something official sounding for the President to sign that gives Haliburton authority to raise an army of mercenaries under the US flag to go kick some a$$ in Venezuela. They will be paid by revenue from Venezuelan oil after Chavez is gone.
There is legal precedent- in times past, privateers were given letters of marque to operate privately owned warships, taking enemy flagged vessels as prizes.
