L.A.Times Op-Ed On Honduras

As I frequently do with comments of more than usual interest, I’m posting this one by Dan Miller.  The L.A. Times Op-Ed piece is written by a Honduran lawyer, and explains clearly that what happened in Honduras was completely legal–except for exiling Zelaya.  Dan’s comment and links follow.

 

Joyce, I read la Gringa’s blog with great interest and hope that many more people will read it. Thank you for posting it. Here is an Op Ed piece from the La Timeswhich, I think, puts the situation in perspective by highlighting the Honduran Constitution and laws. I had made many of the same points in this article on 30 June, but the Honduran attorney who wrote the La Times piece did a better job.

By the way, continue to check into La Gringa’s Blogicito every day–she’s been posting more than once a day, and they’re all good.

Honduras Again

Keep tabs on La Gringa’s Blogicito–another excellent series of posts. She’s wrong in one respect. Chavez didn’t invent the idea of buying votes–that was common in Brasil long before anyone ever even heard of Chavez. Let’s not give him more credit than he’s due!

Interesting Sidelight on the Canal Expansion

The Panama Canal widening project is controversial but the New York Times has an interesting article in the unexpected scientific bonanza from the excavation that is now underway.

Yes, I cite the New York times a lot.  That and the Washington Post are about the only online mainstream media I read regularly because given my cynicism about politics, world affairs and human beings in general, I find I don’t need other material–I’m capable of reading between the lines.  I usually find the foreign press more substantive.
