[Agony]

Washington, D.C. –The Cato Institute has announced that Yon Goicoechea, leader of the pro-democracy student movement in Venezuela that successfully prevented President Hugo Chávez’s regime from seizing broad dictatorial powers in December 2007, has been awarded the 2008 Milton Friedman Prize for Advancing Liberty.

I think that was supposed to be named the "Milton Friedman Death from Torture and Advancing Disappearances as the Price for Liberty Prize"

edit:
Marigold Revolution, CANVAS, NED We got it all! This requires more research...

Anybody else have a creepy feeling about CANVAS (http://www.canvasopedia.org/content/about/about.htm) Their website seriously creeps me out.
