HondurasIn 2008, Manuel Zelaya, the president of Honduras, openly called for the legalization of drugs as a way to tackle drug-trafficking violence.

Reportedly, the CIA and elements of the CIA-backed military in Honduras have been involved in the drugs trade.
On 29 June 2009, the CIA reportedly used the Honduran military to oust Manuel Zelaya, the democratically elected president of Honduras.
Venezuela's President Chavez said troops in Honduras temporarily detained the Venezuelan and Cuban ambassadors and beat them.

Officials from the U.S. Embassy in Honduras met with congressional representatives and right-wing military top brass shortly before the military coup was carried out.
The Honduran military has long had links to the CIA, dating back to the Contras, the fascist criminals who were backed by the CIA.
Reportedly, during the Reagan years, the CIA was involved in cocaine trafficking in Central America as part of the Contra war in Nicaragua.

John Negroponte was US ambassador in Honduras from 1981 to 1985.
There he reportedly worked closely with Honduran army to impose a fascist police state based on torture and murder.

Reportedly Negroponte knew about these human rights violations and yet continued to collaborate with the Honduran military while lying to Congress.

The CIA trained Battalion 316 in the United States.
Gen. Gustavo Alvarez Martinez, who directed Battalion 316, received strong U.S. support - even after he told a U.S. ambassador that he intended to use the Argentine method of eliminating subversives.
By 1983, when Alvarez's oppressive methods were well known to the U.S. Embassy, the Reagan administration awarded him the Legion of Merit for "encouraging the success of democratic processes in Honduras."
A CIA officer went frequently to a secret jail known as INDUMIL, where torture was conducted.

Obama misdirection "backs" Zelaya
Honduras, the former stomping ground of Central American "expert" Eliot Abrams, convicted of his role in the Iran-Contra affair.
Who later morphed into a ME "expert" during the Bush Administration and will probably become a "expert" on Chinese affairs during the next administration.
"Reportedly, the CIA and elements of the CIA-backed military in Honduras have been involved in the drugs trade." Reportedly by who? This article just makes assumptions and offers no facts. I have assumed the same thing, but have no proof (which I'm sure will come out soon). When you look at the history of U.S. involvement in Honduras (specifically with the Contras - Enrique Bermudez) it's only logical that the C.I.A. (and probably DEA, NSA, and DIA) were heavily involved in the recent coup d'etat.
