CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - President Hugo Chavez said Sunday that foreigners who publicly criticize him or his government while visiting Venezuela will be expelled from the country.

Chavez ordered officials to closely monitor statements made by international figures during their visits to Venezuela - and deport any outspoken critics.

"How long are we going to allow a person - from any country in the world - to come to our own house to say there's a dictatorship here, that the president is a tyrant, and nobody does anything about it?" Chavez asked during his weekly television and radio program.

The Venezuelan leader's statements came after Manuel Espino, the president of Mexico's conservative ruling party, criticized Chavez during a recent pro-democracy forum in Caracas.

4. so when did Bush decree foreigners who speak ill of his administration would be kicked out?

[Vincardog]

7. He decreed that anyone (Even US citizens) who says anything he doesn't like goes directly to jail.

They do not get any notice lawyer or appeal.
They can be imprisoned forever and tortured based on his (aWoL's) gut feelings.

He also decreed that anyone who obstructs his plan for Iraqnam forfeits all their property without appeal.

8. No!!! I think that there are many, many of the ones he is talking about

are American rethugs and coming in there to make trouble...remember he had a very bad experience when they tried to overthrow him after he was elected by the people... could this be why...
