Scooped!

I just got back from Fayetteville, North Carolina, and I opened up my browser to my homepage, Al Jazeera. Imagine my surprise to see the following headline...

Ecuador police gas Congress protest

http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/470FA299-13 9A-4EC4-98A7-8374ECEC9E66.htm It would appear that Gutierrez is up to his usual anti-democratic antics, in this case gassing a congress when he thinks the vote won't go his way. Democracy in action! Now, Al-Jazeera isn't known for its outstanding Latin American reportage, but it truly is a rarity when it's there and not here.
