WIKILEAKS: US role in establishing Honduran dictatorship, November 28, 2010



EFerrari, you are so spot on, I've got to quote you. Thank you for not letting them get away with it.

And that we never cleaned out Iran/Contra. Obama's bit of this is really not much because there's a whole machine with dug in felons that got promoted instead of going to jail. Stir in Bill Clinton who has gotten speaker's fees from promoting FTAs in Latin America.

This wasn't a mistake in any way. This is what powerful American politicians do in this hemisphere.

When Bill Clinton let Poppy Bush off the hook for Iran Contra, Iraq-Gate, the October Surprise, among other scandals, there was no going back.

Yet even after George H.W. Bush’s Christmas Eve 1992 pardons of Weinberger, Elliott Abrams and four other Iran-Contra culprits, the historical record still could have been set right if the new President, Bill Clinton, had lent his support to serious fact-finding and meaningful accountability.

It didn't happen. Swept under the rug. Wouldn't have been prudent.

That one unfathomable act by a Democratic president paved the way to yet another one.
