The US-trained and equipped military of Honduras breaks into the home of the elected president, bundles him onto a plane and flies him out of the country at gunpoint. The basic crime of the deposed president, Manuel Zelaya, is aligning his government with Washington’s nemeses in Latin America, Venezuela’s Hugo Chávez and Cuba’s Fidel Castro, and carrying out modest popular reforms within Honduras, such as raising the minimum wage.

The event is barely reported by the US press and broadcast media. Neither are the arrests and deportations of ministers of Zelaya’s government, the closures of local media outlets sympathetic to the ousted president, the arrests of foreign journalists and shutdown of US-based outlets such as CNN, and the imposition of a de facto state of siege, including a dusk-to-dawn curfew and the mobilization of thousands of Honduran troops in every major city.

The media has dispensed with any pretense of objectivity. I guess Honduras has no oil to steal.

A top official in Honduras’ ousted government charges there was U.S. involvement

Morons will never cease to bewilder the world with their conspiracy theories. These Chavez backed morons see a U.S. bogeyman at every turn. Glad that this moron belonged to the ousted government.

She didn’t offer any proof for that assertion and stressed that she didn’t believe the highest levels of the Obama administration were involved.

Don't worry. Others will be more than happy to make your case for you on internet message boards around the world....with or without proof.

Must not have done your research eh. The crime for which his supreme court ordered his arrest, was going against the constitution of his country to try to get another term. Rather like Dictator-for-life Chavez, and Obamas best friend in the world, has managed to do. I find it interesting that this idiot didn't accuse Costa Rica of likewise being complicit in Zelayas removal. Since thats where he wound up. Certainly their officials were involved, and had to know.
