#1 I had a lot of hope that Chavez was circling the drain. His poor people really seem to be gravitating towards the Cuba doctors. If either Cuba or Venesuala fall, the otehr can't stand long unless the cancer continues to spread.

#2 Read about this connection 6 months ago on a Venezuelan web site dedicated to supporting those protesting Chavez's fascist ways. Libyan, Iraqis, and Iranians were/are being imported to bring up V. oil output to pre-lockout/strike levels. Along with these experts came a whole bunch of unsavory characters from the respective countries' intelligence services. Talked to a few Venezuelan acquaintances who, while they didn't have specific knowledge of this development, did say that Chavez has been very much in bed with Cuban and ME intelligence slime. Question: The Iraqis really don't have a home to go back to, so what does Hugo plan to do with them? Maybe have them look to el Norte and/or Colombia, perhaps?

#3 I was not aware that baggage was being inspected on disembarking passengers. Somebody got a tip or is this now standard practice?
