Honduras: U.S. Urges Support of Neighbors for New Leader
By GINGER THOMPSON

The United States urged members of the Organization of American States to put the coup in Honduras behind them and support the efforts of the newly elected president to heal the politically divided country. At a meeting on Friday in Washington, Ambassador Carmen Lomellín told her counterparts that the presidential election Sunday showed that Hondurans “wish to move forward and re-establish democratic normality.” Most other countries were not convinced, saying they would not recognize elections held by an illegitimate government. “In our judgment, Honduras is not free,” Ambassador José E. Pinelo of Bolivia said. “In our countries leaders govern, not puppets.”

What is this crapola from Obama about "We must look forward, not backward"? He said it about our master criminals. Now they're saying it about Honduras. It apparently only applies to big, well-connected criminals who commit horrendous crimes. Doesn't apply to petty thieves, small time drug possessors and dealers, prostitutes, check bouncers, or any other poor, not well-connected "perps," nor to people who just kill once, nor to ordinary people accused of anything at all. Justice for damn sure LOOKS BACK--unless you're Dick Cheney or Robert Mitcheletti!
