Honduras: I've been through this shit, and I didn't like it the first time around.
The thugs who staged this coup are Pinochet/Stroessner/Somoza/Videla wannabes. I've seen their ilk and their sympathizers a thousand times.

You think they are going to nicely fill the remainder of Zelaya's term and allow elections as planned? Or that the other leftist guy will be allowed to run and, god forbid, win?

Yeah, right, and I have a giant statue of Jesus on a hill to sell you.

New denounces of death squads in Honduras

Caracas, Jul 01 ABN.- The reappearance in Honduras of the death squad Battalion 316 was denounced by the union leader Porfirio Ponce, who affirmed that members of that unit harass popular leaders.

Ponce stated that in one of these actions, they made a raid to the house of the union leader of the National University of Honduras, Marcos Antonio Murillo.

The vice president of the Union of Beverage and Related Industry Workers of Honduras (STIBYS) recalled that such death squad was created by the army in the eighties, during the last century, in order to disappear and murder the popular leaders.

He added that such group was headed by the former captain of the police, Billy Joya Amendula, charged by international bodies on human rights of torturing and murdering several Honduran people.

The denounce of the reactivation of the death squad occurred after the Honduran armed forces kidnapped the president, Manuel Zelaya, and led him to Costa Rica, at the beginning of a coup d'état.

10. I understand. The people in the crosshairs right now
are journalists and protest organizers. But that will slip and it will be anyone who irritates them.
