While this report says Enzo was "shot to death executionary-style" they also say there is no indication that the murder is related to Roberto Micheletti's controversial presidency.

The young man's body was found Sunday in the woods in the northern city of Choloma, police said. He had bullet wounds to his head and chest and his hands were tied behind his back.

Honduras Constitution: Zelaya Removal Constitutional

Lugar Clinton: Explain Honduras Foreign Policy Please

Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN) has Secretary of State Hillary to explain our U.S. foreign policy on Honduras. Thank you. Essential topic. Lugar is basically saying: why are we doing what we're doing? Following the Senate protocol of gentility, Lugar gently forges ahead:

I request that the Department provide interested Members a detailed clarification of the steps that it has taken, and intends to take, in response to the events that transpired in the run-up to and period after the forced removal of President Manuel Zelaya from Honduras," Lugar wrote to Clinton. Your explanation of U.S. policy toward Honduras and your outreach to the Senate can improve the prospects of confirming Mr. Valenzuela before the Congress recesses in August," Lugar wrote. The Senate is scheduled to go on recess August 8.

The Honduran Congress, Supreme Court and Military jettisoned former President Manuel Zelaya out of the county for insisting on holding an unconstitutional referendum the day before he was removed from the country, to query citizens about extending his, or any, president's term in office. Roberto Micheletti, a member of Congress, was installed as interim President until the November elections. According to the Honduras Constitution, a president is not authorized to call such a referendum. Congress may do so, but a president may not. Zelaya had ballots printed in Venezuela and shipped in. Unconstitutional. Zelaya has not been allowed to enter the country since. He is spending most of his time in neighboring Nicauragua and camping on the border. The Obama administration sternly counseled the Michelletti government to reseat the democratically elected President Zelaya. Michelletti refused. The U.S. has withheld $1.6 million in military aid, is threatening to withhold $16 million in economic aid. We revoked the visas of four Honduran diplomats. We have advocated for mediation with Costa Rican president being the mediator. It appears the mediation has failed on every level. Obama et al took days to advise, kinda-sorta, the Iranian government to mind how their thugs were beating and killing the Iranian citizens, but Honduras upholds their own constitution, and we offer no support. We have offered no support to a country who was on track to become another Venezuela under the rule of a power-theiving president. Senator Lugar is doing the right thing. Now I hope he takes the kool-aid that will be offered from Clinton and says "no thanks," and continues the conversation on a very serious note.

Honduras Thousands in the Street: Micheletti Supporters in the Streets

The political situation in Honduras is not difficult for most of us to understand, since the Honduran constitution is all over the web. Most Americans get it right, but not the politicians dreaming of their own empiric crowning. What the media is not telling us or showing us are that Hondurans by the thousands are in the streets, and they support Roberto Michelletti's constitutional succession. Video below. When Venezuela's Hugo Chavez seized power for as long as he wants it in May 2007, little was seen in the mainstream media of the protests against Chavez. You can see and read that sad story here and here. This is what Hondurans had to look forward to, but instead they got ahead of Zelaya and sent him packing. If you listen to the media, you would think the only protesters are Manuel Zelaya supporters hanging out on airport runways and the Nicaraguan border. That is a wrong impression. Watch the Pajamas Media video below. Links to Zelaya-Michelletti background below the video.
