MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP)-Miskito Indians leaders on Thursday asked government and human rights investigators to probe allegations that at least 150 of their people were killed under Nicaragua's Sandinista regime.

The leaders said that the country's independent Permanent Human Rights Commission should investigate and the government prosecute those who carried out the killings and burned houses, destroyed crops and slaughtered livestock.

Once again, Ronald Reagan knew what he was doing...

Expect the MSM to burry this just as deep as the Sandunistas burries the indians.

This is impossible. The Sandinistas had the best class of friends.

No...it can't be...not the nice, friendly commies, who the Democrats liked so much!

It was a "Government of the People!" Fidel Castro told me so!

Send Jimmy Carter... I hear he has loads of experience in helping terrorists, and those who commit atrocities, and he has a fancy Nobel Peace Prize.

Former Sandinista Foreign Minister Tomas Borge said the complaint had been inspired by the U.S. government as a way to denigrate the Sandinista party ahead of the 2006 presidential election. "Otherwise, why now after more than 20 years?" he said when contacted by telephone.

See Bush's fault. ;-)

Everyone knew that.
