    Subject: Honduras

    1. THANK YOU, GRETA, FOR THE WONDERFULLY HONEST INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT MICHELETTI.

    2. I have lived in Honduras for nearly 20 years.

    3. I cannot understand the U. S. turning on their most loyal ally here in Central America.

    4. The aid the U. S. cut off was for the Dry Canal. (The cost effective alternative to the Panama Canal. It is not far from completion. Ecconomically that would hurt the U. S. much more than it hurts Honduras.)

    5. I have heard rumors from my relatives in the States that the news is reporting that: a. thousands of Hondurans have been demonstrating for Mel. b. Thousands have been killed in violence. (I cannot imagine any news agency lying to such a degree.)

    In fact, in the early demonstrations in June, they could not get enough support for Mel to protest throughout the country. So they staged the demonstrations in Teguc and San Pedro Sula. The other dancing in the streets were the people who were happy to be free of that vicious tyrant.

    MONDAY his supporters were masked and had weapons when the curfew started. (Mainly boards and that kind of threatening stuff.) They stopped traffic and made the people who were hurrying home because of the curfew pay to pass. EXTORTION, ROBBERY, Then they looted the downtown areas. Is there any wonder the country does not want Mel back when his supporters act like that?

    6. I hesitate to say this, but I live in San Pedro Sula. It is quiet as a tomb. The dogs hardly even bark. I have rarely seen it this quiet. How can they say there is violence going on? I live close enough to the center of town to hear if there were violence. There are not even the usual gunshots going off. (I think some of the guards get scared at night, or shoot rats.)

    7. What concerns me most is the hunger. I don't have a lot of food in the house and I am concerned. Hondurans usually don't have any and live from day to day. Mel already hurt the country economically when he went to D. C. and lobbied for their aid to be cut off. Now he has cost everyone in this country two days of wages. What supporters he might have had have greatly dwindled because of his actions against the Honduran people.

    8. I guess most puzzling to me is: Why does the world care? Honduras was peacefully minding its own business, legally impeaching the pres., kindly exiling him instead of jailing him. The country had no violence problems other than the usual ones, and murder, kidnapping, and other violent crimes have been down since Mel left according to the things I see in the Prensa. Since Mel came back we have had threats of violence, some violence by his supporters, and continuous curfews that keep kids out of school and parents out of work. If the world would back the legally instated Micheletti and not support Mel things would be peaceful here.

    9. I would really like to know about Mel's drug connections. I wish someone would expose that. I am certain the drugs were headed to the U. S. Doesn't the U. S. care about that anymore?

    10. I wish someone would expose Mel's plans when he was exiled. It was the day of the elections for setting aside the Honduran constitution. Computers were supposedly found with the results already in them for the whole country, even though there were no elections. If the U. S. news is going to report this they should report the whole thing! Mel is a crook and a criminal and that should be exposed.

    11. Did anyone ever get a count on the number of nicaraguans, cubans and venezuelans that were arrested in the violent demonstrations for Mel? You can usually tell what someone is like by his closest friends. I don't trust anyone that is a close friend of Chavez, Ortega, and Castro!

    12. Has anyone investigated the 6 months of taxes Mel stole from the Honduran cities? Micheletti returned most of it. At least that is my understanding. Shouldn't the U. S. know that Mel stole from even his own countrymen?

    13. Over Holy Week Mel took Honduran tax money and went to the islands to scuba dive. He televised it with Honduran tax money also. A couple of university students put on gear and marched in front of his residence. They were beaten to a pulp. I think one was beaten to death. That was done by Mel supporters. I suspect Micheletti's administration has proof linking Mel to those beatings and other violent crimes. That should also be investigated.

    14. Has anyone investigated Mel's strong arm tactics? The press was so afraid of him they announced they were going to stop reporting about his constitutional elections. THAT WAS AFTER some reporters were killed or disappeared. I think that should be investigated.

    15. My final question is asked as a U. S. citizen. How can our president support a vicious ciminal? A leftist wannabe dictator?

    I will close with this. I know I have asked some hard questions, actually dangerous ones for investigators. In fact I am coward enough to hope you do not use my name or any identifying info when you are doing the investigating. But I know that Fox News is not easily intimidated. I hope you are brave enough to research this and loudly proclaim your findings to the American people. Maybe, just maybe, it will put enough pressure on the obama administration that they will back down and quit supporting this insurrectionist ex pres. He does NOT have the good of the Honduran people at heart. If he gets back in office I fear there will be a blood bath of good people paying with their lives for standing up for justice and truth. God bless you and help you, you will certainly need it if you choose to continue this investigation.
