Do you still like, Hugo, liberals? IHT:
Caracas, Venezuela. President Hugo Chávez has used his decree powers to carry out a major overhaul of this country's intelligence agencies, provoking a fierce backlash here from human rights groups and legal scholars who say the measures will force citizens to inform on one another to avoid prison terms.Still worried about President Bush spying on your library cards without due process?
Get real. Lefties are the totalitarian professionals.
The new law requires people in the country to comply with requests to assist the agencies, secret police or community activist groups loyal to Chávez. Refusal can result in prison terms of two to four years for most people and four to six years for government employees.Quite the incentive for government service--another reason for liberals to hate the guy.
Chavez still thinks we're going to invade. Want a human rights invasion Dems? It worked in Darfur. Maybe a postcard campaign.
