[...] One Venezuelan blogger pointedly asked, “How many forms of torture can you count on this picture … I count at least three: the fingers in the eyes, the breaking wrist and the humiliation of having to hold tight to your own clothes. And who knows how many others we can count, starting with the image of this armored cops and whatever they did to this kid. Amnesty International is taking notice. The numbers of government expressing their concern keeps growing.” [...]

I just learned that the "official" name for the iron claw, as used by the Venezuelan National Guard, is the Garrampiño, and evidently Chavez is quite upset about the coverage its use is receiving in the international press which, he complains, is giving the impression that he is a "bloody tyrant." There is a video of his complaint at that link. Poor Hugo! No one understands him.

"THey won't get away w/ this". Looks like they have, and that's why I advocate a "take no prisoners" approach when it comes to commies, both HERE and abroad. I'd exterminate them like the vermin that they are.

Possible dumb question: What would that "Iron Claw" be used for? Do you swing it in a circle and stab people ?

Yes, Ziva, Thank God for the power of the Internet, since we can't rely on "our newspapers of record" like the New York Times [that claim to "print all the news that worth to print"] to print a photo like this one! That is an absolutely outrageous photograph. I pray to God that Chavez is deposed soon, very soon!
