-You can't see evidence because you have an ability to block out any -reports that contradict the opinion that you already hold, for -instance Ron Smith's report that "CTV said, when asked if there will -be a new work stoppage, that it depends on the will of FEDECAMARAS.
Yeah? You don't make decisions without hearing from your coalition partners? Shocking. And yeah, the CTV is hanging around with the coup folks from April. Again surprise.
To repeat, and repeat-- I don't like the CTV pushing for the ouster of Chavez, but you seem to think that this means the government has the right to jail CTV's leaders and oust them.
Leftwing unions and parties around the world are looking for the chance to oust rightwing regimes. Your logic is the same as the anticommunist authoritarian idea-- preemptive action in defense of the state, civil liberties and international labor rights be damned.
