...and I didn't know that Zelaya had tried to call the US Embassy while they were kidnapping him at gunpoint. Do you suppose the phone was placed off the hook? Or maybe our ambassador told them to say he was "in a meeting" (Donald Rumsfeld's famous explanation of where he was on the morning of 9/11/01 with two hijacked airlines heading for DC, and Rumsfeld having pulled all NORAD decision-making power into his own hands three months before). I'm also still wondering about the Honduran military plane, carrying the kidnapped Zelaya out of the country, which stopped at the US military base in Honduras for refueling. I mean, WTF? Either we're looking at treachery by President Obama and Sec of State Clinton, or treachery against them, by the US ambassador in Honduras and the US commanders at that base or others in the "Southern Command" (or in Rumsfeld's secret meeting room in the Pentagon?). Nobody took Zelaya's call? Nobody stopped that plane for a little inspection?

All in all, WFT?! The graphic novel doesn't say this, but maybe it should. W. T. F.?!

is among Goriletti's cabinet members. Makes you want to gag, doesn't it?

Thanks, Downwinder.
