1. Did you see Magbana's name on this?
Looks like we know where to find Magbana around now! Maybe that is old news 'round here.

2. Have been listening to Radio Globo tonight
Edited on Thu Aug-13-09 02:29 AM by rabs

and all in the article is true. Scores of people got rounded up, many were beaten and are being held at the Cobras HQ, the basement of the national parliament, the university and other places according to dozens of callers to Globo.

And yes, that does look like our magbana. If she is down there, may she stay safe.

Thanks Downwinder for posting.

4. Like the people you heard on the radio, she also said they are beaten & held in that building.
It sounded as if two protesters were already disappeared, as well, when they were taken away, and didn't show up on the list of prisoners.

Sure hope magbana makes it back without damage.

5. I noticed that it said magbana on the Vodpod section
and assumed that hcvanalysis would be her blog.
It must be amazing to be there now.

6. It's definitely Honduran history in the making. It's a moment the people don't want to lose
to the parasitic, exploitive, pathologically greedy, racist oligarchs.

Such a shock to imagine she has appeared there suddenly, when she has already been so intensively occupied in Washington for a long time.

She sounds like someone who clearly has a book in her! A great one.
