Standoff at Honduran protest; govt suspends rights

QuoteTEGUCIGALPA, Honduras – The coup-installed government in Honduras took increasingly desperate measures to hold onto power Monday, suspending civil liberties, silencing dissident broadcasters and facing off with hundreds of protesters in the street.

The interim government of Roberto Micheletti, who took office after a June 28 coup, banned a march in support of ousted President Manuel Zelaya and ringed the protesters with riot police.

Pfft, that's a smelly third world country. Civil liberties are sacred in America, they would never be subject to that kind of abuse.
Is it plugged in?

Yes, these sorts of things are exclusive to countries that are 30' across and make shoes for us.

And if anyone tells you any different, report them to http://dhs.gov

This has been brewing for a while, if I don't miss my guess.  I heard a podcast on this last week.  It's really fucking sad.

The Honduran junta has a lot of sympathizers in places like the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post.  Apparently, they had to suspend freedom to defend it.
