Suspicious deaths. Beatings. Random police shootings. Life under the de facto government of Honduras at times feels uncannily like Latin America's dark past of military rule.

In the three months since soldiers overthrew leftist President Manuel Zelaya and marched him out of the country in his pajamas, international and Honduran human rights groups say security forces have committed a litany of abuses.

They link at least 10 deaths to de facto rule under Roberto Micheletti, who was named president after the June 28 coup. The government admits three people have died in protests.

1. Hey, Rotters is telling the truth! I wonder if they'll be exiled in their pajamas by...

...their brethren at the Wall Street Urinal, the Associated Pukes, the Washington Past, the Econodust and the New York Grimes!

Is Hell freezing over? I feel kind of a chill.
