Miguel puts the chavista raid on fearless journalist Patricia Poleo in context, outlining all the angles and showing what is at stake.

I did some research on Poleo, and realized I’d read about her before – and I was extremely impressed – she’s the one who got proof of secret Cuban troops in her country, going to the airport against dictator Chavez’s diktat, and bringing back conclusive proof to Venezuela’s citizens that hardened Cuban communist agents were invading their country. You can see why the Thug of Miraflores considers her an enemy. She’s brave as hell.

Here’s a photo of Patricia Poleo in her goon-trashed apartment.
