1. Wow. So the Diaz-Balarts think Zelaya just might be connected to drugs. Oh, God.

People should have been looking at them long, long ago, when there were so many Cuban "exiles" in Miami DEEPLY involved in cocaine trafficking, Iran/Contra, smuggling, even Operation Condor, etc., etc., etc.

So like Republicans to be screaming and pointing at regular people, accusing them of the crimes they, themselves are committing at that very time.

The article indicates Pinochetti was born in 1948. Really! I'd think his SON would have been born in 1948. Pinochetti hasn't held up very well, has he? Holy smoke! Must be the cocaine!

What a great article from a superior journalist. Thanks, magbana.

Sure hope someone will go after this little gorilla for his dope trafficking. He should be in PRISON, not in the President's office. How did he pull THAT off, anyway?

2. Color me surprised. Not. The hidden story in a number of instances of U.S.

overt or covert aggression--and maybe in all instances of it--is the fostering, facilitation and likely profiting from illicit drug trafficking and associated crime. Colombia is a prime example. BILLIONS of US taxpayer dollars poured into Colombia in military aid, and the production and traffic in cocaine goes up (whereas, in Venezuela and Bolivia, where the DEA has been kicked out, it has gone down). Also Afghanistan. The Taliban had stopped the heroin trade. The US military enters the picture, and the heroin trade soon reaches and surpasses previous levels. In Mexico--U.S. billions poured into the military and police forces last summer for the "war on drugs"; bloodshed aimed at, and within, the drug trade dramatically increases, but does this dent the drug trade? Not a bit of it.

What's. Wrong. With. This. Picture?

Al Giordano at NarcoNews was the reporter who first alerted me to probable drug trade profiteering among the Coup Class in Honduras. The non-DEA and non-US military dominated countries--like Venezuela and Bolivia--are probably putting a dent in their illicit profits, by honest interdiction efforts. Yet another reason for the coup--in addition to Rumsfeld's oil war plan, and smashing democracy whereas it rears its head, and supporting fascists, which seems to be the goal of US foreign policy, whichever party is in power.
