They also have not said one thing that comes close to putting the blame for the failed Arias negotiations where it belongs - on the golpistas. You know being shamed counts for a lot - and the US is blowing it. Nevermind the total media silence on the recent military violence - particularly when compared to the hyper-ventilation over the same security techniques (clearing the street with batons) taking place in Tehran.leftsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00676827005815770066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21674624.post-45748089716265969742009-08-04T13:22:03.339-04:002009-08-04T13:22:03.339-04:00Today, five senior military officers including Gen...Today, five senior military officers including Gen. Vasquez went on 'Frente a Frente' to <a href="http://narcosphere.narconews.com/thefield/coup-general-were-going-after-protest-leaders/" rel="nofollow">threaten</a> leaders of the popular movement.<br /><br />In San Pedro Sula yesterday, a demonstration was broken up in the same way as last week's roadblocks, with the police wading in with batons to make mass arrests. Fifty people were detained, most of whom have been released, but many are wounded.<br /><br />CODEH made the point in a statement this weekend that the police are not recording the names many of those taken in these mass arrests, or using regular procedures, which both sets the stage for disappearances and abuse and (in the absence of strenuous documentation efforts by human rights groups and reporters) makes it easy for them to pretend that only a few arrests have been made.<br /><br />Early Sunday morning the police shot and <a href="http://hondurassolidarity.wordpress.com/2009/08/04/es-mision-internacional-lamenta-y-condena-un-nuevo-asesinato-de-otro-profesor-en-honduras/" rel="nofollow">stabbed to death</a> a teacher, MartÃn Florencio Rivera Barrientos, as he was returning from the wake of Roger Vallejo.<br /><br />The silence of the U.S. State Department is deafening as the threats intensify and the bodies pile up. Between July 8, when military aid was suspended, and July 28, when diplomatic visas were revoked for some coup officials in Tegucigalpa and Washington, the U.S. government took <i>not one concrete action</i> to pressure the coup government.<br /><br />Apparently we're going to have to wait another three weeks for any further sign that the Obama administration's supposed opposition to the coup government goes much further than words.Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01969732734453586544noreply@blogger.com
