Or are you just using the same sort of tactics that this series of letters is responding to? I on the other hand, *can* provide you with evidence of the NED funding anti-Chavez media groups in Venezuela. Do you have any evidence that these people were paid by the Venezuelan government?

Say it takes a full $1 million apiece. That's just $115 million, peanuts for a spendthrift tyrant that has wasted more than $85 billion in soft "loans" and "financial aid" to countries under the rule of his socialist friends; who keeps political prisoners behind bars without trial by his sole will, and whose list of crimes needs several dozen pages in a newspaper. It would be very interesting to investigate those 115 experts' bank accounts and their recent movements: perhaps their true reasons for supporting Venezuela's regime would be revealed.
