31 US citizens arrested in Venezuela
By Aleksander Boyd
London 03.04.07 | Daily El Progreso reported yesterday that 31 US citizens have been detained in the Gran Sabana region, close to Santa Elena de Uairen in the Venezuela - Brazil border. Accusations of illegally practising medicine purportedly caused the arrest. Regional media were informed by an allegedly trustworthy source.
The 31 American citizens are kept incommunicado awaiting presidential orders, reported the source. It is believed that charges of spying or to be part of the CIA will be levied against them.
The group is composed by medical doctors, nurses and religious individuals.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if they were CIA operatives.

Yeah, our government has so many operations on so many different levels acrossed the globe that it has got to be nuts. I wonder how big the rolodex is for snipers and the like. You don't hear of that happening too much anymore.

Anyone remember when one of the first laws George W. Bush passed was to make political assassinations legal?

They are probably a group of moonbat missionary types.

Update: "sources in Venezuela have just confirmed to me that the 31 US citizens are not in jail but have been 'asked' by the military to not leave the compound where they were."

Thats what I thought when I first read it.
I actually know some people that are in south america right now on a missions trip...i hope they wouldnt have been stupid enough to go to that area though. Then again, stupid is relative...stupid to me is being there at all, but whatever.

I think that if the US really wants to prove that socialism fails, the best policy would be to simply ignore socialist countries or treat them like any other country for purposes of trade. That way, if such countries fail, that will be surer evidence that socialism in general fails. However if such countries succeed, all it will mean is that the US was wrong, at least in part, and should adopt some aspects of such a system. In any event, trying to force a country to stop being socialist shows a lack of confidence.

The US already has some aspects of socialism. Every country does.

They only adopted some socialism because they felt sorry for it.
