Honduran media reported yesterday that the massacre was carried out by police. Neither the police nor the military have admitted that they were responsible for the killings. One woman survived the massacre and is now in hiding.
“Youth have been criminalized in this country, because they present a danger to this dictatorship” said Dina Meza, a journalist who works with COFADEH, a group formed by families of people disappeared and detained in Honduras. “Youth is criminalized, and therefore young people are being assassinated,” she said.

“In this country there was a coup d’état, and institutionalism is broken,” said Meza. “The official human rights department, an institution that should already have begun an investigation, isn’t doing so,” she said.
“There are hitmen executing people, there are paramilitaries being paid with (tax) money from the people, there are people from the death squads that operated in the 80s… who have seen this context of the coup as a phenomenal opportunity to continue with repression and all the lessons they learned in the School of the Americas,” said Meza.http://www.mediacoop.ca/story/2232-----------------------------------------
This is what the Bushwhacks did to Fallujah and Baghdad. It's what they have done with the US "war on drugs" to Colombia and in the Mexican/US border area. And this is what the Bushwhack imitators are doing in Honduras, and what the Obama administration has permitted to happen there. They have given leave to the worst, most unconscionable elements of Latin American society--death squads, thugs, militarists, criminals in office and criminals on the streets--to terrorize the Honduran people. And I cannot see any difference whatsoever between the Bushwhacks and the Obamites on this matter.
