At the time it all was happening, I was under the impression that their options were 1) send him out of the country or 2) an unfortunate household accident in which he perished. I think they thought, at the time, those were their options, too. All that said, I think they were exceeding clever to avoid having his blood on their hands. I also believe that Micheletti and his allies in the government are principled, decent, law abiding Hondurans who respect and appreciate the precarious Rule of Law in their country. They have had to make some difficult decisions in the face of intimidation and opposition. That so few — if any — have died in all this is a testimony to their political skill as well as their decency. They have kept their heads while all around them were losing theirs, including OUR State Department.
Well spoken. I agree right down the line.
“That so few — if any — have died in all this is a testimony to their political skill as well as their decency. “
Very well stated!
