Good to see....

Dissent!

It is encouraging to see that Venezuelans aren't rolling over and submitting to Chavez.

TV station chief: We are not afraid of Chavez

CNN's bullet points from the article:

• NEW: Demonstrators march again despite police use of water cannon
• NEW: U.S. calls Venezuelan action an attack on freedom of expression
• Venezuela investigating Globovision, now the only opposition channel left
• Venezuelan minister says, "CNN lies to Venezuela"; CNN denies allegations

I was surprised by this piece of news:

U.S. imposes new sanctions against Sudan

CNN bullet points:

• NEW: "Giving Khartoum more time is not the answer," diplomat says
• NEW: House Speaker Pelosi says Bush did the right thing
• NEW: Sudanese ambassador says government is working for peace
• U.S. imposes punitive action against 31 companies and three individuals

I guess all of the kids handing out anti "Fidelity Investments" fliers around Boston (and I'm certain many other metropolises across the U.S.) and "Save Dafur" information has paid off on some level.
Now the investors are being forced by the hand of the government. It's shameful it should have to come to that, however business and ethics are by no means symbiotic.
