Dots Coalesce to form an Ugly Mess

Remember this?
Venezuelan troops used tear gas and water cannons to disperse demonstrators who turned out by the tens of thousands to protest constitutional reforms that would permit President Hugo Chavez to run for re-election indefinitely.
Led by university students, demonstrators chanted “Freedom! Freedom!” and warned that amendments drafted by Venezuela’s Chavista-dominated National Assembly would violate civil liberties and derail democracy.
Catch this?
Deputy Justice Minister Tarek El Aissami blamed students for the unrest . . .
In his early thirties Tarik El-Assimi is one of the younger men to have held such a post. His father Carlos el-Aissami headed the Venezuelan branch of the Baath Party, while his great-uncle Shibli el-Aissami was a close Saddam ally and served as assistant to the Secretary General of the Baath Party.
Before the invasion of Iraq, Carlos El-Aissami held a press conference in which he described himself as a Taliban and called Osama Bin Laden, “the great Mujahedeen, Sheik Osama bin Laden”.

Well worth the time.
Wow. Just...Wow. Good catch.
