@ 20 Hey Moho, since you’re so concerned with the Honduran people, why don’t you read the State Department’s Human Rights Report on Honduras, with nice juicy quotes such as:
“The following human rights problems were reported: unlawful killings by members of the police and government agents… violence against detainees by security forces; harsh prison conditions; corruption and impunity within the security forces; failure to provide due process of law; lengthy pretrial detention…. erosion of press freedom; corruption in the legislative and executive branches; government restrictions on recognition of some nongovernmental organizations (NGOs); violence and discrimination against women….
“There were reports that the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings…
“Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment… there were instances in which government officials employed them, including police beatings and other abuse of detainees.
“The constitution and law prohibit arbitrary arrest and detention, but the authorities at times failed to enforce these prohibitions effectively…
“….there were reports of government intimidation of journalists, government takeovers of television transmission frequencies, and journalistic self-censorship.
“In August the National Commission of Telecommunications (Conatel), disregarding a judge’s ruling, transferred the rights to broadcast on Channel Eight from a private enterprise, Teleunsa, to the Office of the President.
“NGOs published two reports describing threats to media freedom by the practice of “official publicity.” The reports detailed how the government guided press coverage through greater access and advertising revenue for those producing favorable reporting while denying access or making legal threats against those who did not.”
Reprehensible, isn’t it? Yeah, the only thing is, this report is from 2008, under ZELAYA’S GOVERNMENT. Here’s the link:

But I guess to you and your left-wing agenda, the human right’s abuses of the past 3 months are far more important than those committed under 3 1/2 years of Zelaya rule. You’re a pathetic excuse for a blog commentator. “And a human.”
