1. If I understand the layout of this page correctly, there is an egregious error in the US State Dept
press release. Here is what it says (in context):

"US Stepping up Role in Honduras Political Crisis

"By David Gollust

"State Department

"27 October 2009


(SNIP)

"The U.S. team, expected to be in Tegicigalpa through the end of this week, will meet with both Micheletti and Mr. Zelaya, who has been sheltered at the Brazilian embassy in the capital since slipping back into the country five weeks ago.

"A senior State Department official said the sides are in agreement on all terms proposed by OAS mediator Arias except for critical language providing for Mr. Zelaya to return to office and complete his term, which ends in January.

"The deposed leader has said he would renounce any ambition to hold on to power beyond January despite his previous backing for a referendum that would have allowed him to run again in next month’s election."

I'm like...HUH??!! I quickly scanned up and down the article to make sure it was a State Dept communique and not the Wall Street Urinal or the Miami Hairball. Nope. It says the US State Dept. is the source!

Who the hell do they have working as scribes in the State Dept.--George Bush's idiot nephew?

I went to the link. The publisher is the "Voice of America." Do they re-write State Dept. press releases? Who is this lamebrain--the signed author--David Gollust?

Hondurasoye needs to monitor their posts better, and provide corrective information when something this smelly is emitted by Bushwhack moles in the U.S. government or the corpo-fascist press.
