    what do you make of this? execution style!

    Honduras Interim Leader's nephew murdered! execution style!

    Honduras leader's nephew killed

    The nephew of the interim President of Honduras Roberto Micheletti has been found dead in what the police are calling an execution-style killing.

    Enzo Micheletti's body was discovered on Sunday in woodland near Choloma, 250 km north of the capital, Tegucigalpa.

    Police say his hands were tied behind his back and his body was riddled with bullets.

    There is no indication that his death is connected to the coup that brought his uncle to power at the end of June.

    The 24-year-old's body was discovered on Sunday two days after he had been reported missing.

    The body of another unidentified man was found nearby.

    Mr Micheletti came to power after President Manuel Zelaya was ousted in June after trying to hold a vote on whether a constituent assembly should be set up to  CLICK HERE FOR THE REST OF THE BBC ARTICLE

i am honestly wondering if it has anything to do with the planes found crashed and abandoned (over 17 total so far) there are rumors that they might have held arms or worse coming from Venezuela. Sadly the U.S. base there refuses to share data with the Honduran government.

Roberto Mitchelli is such a brave person

Roberto Mitchelli is such a brave person who loves his country and tried to do the right thing, for his people who knew what tyranny was about; and who wrote a constitution to prevent it. Our condolences to Roberto Mitchelli and all of his family. Our apologies to all of the people of Honduras for this admin's behavior which seems to not only not support your efforts in freedom but which also seem to support the person who tried to break your constitution. We as citizens love you and support you. God bless you all.

My sincere sympathy to the Micheletti family. The fact that BHO has sided with the "wrong side" of this fight is just outrageous, unbelievable and so totally "UNAMERICAN" it makes me sick! That BHO would side with these terrorists is unimaginable! What has "OUR GOVERNMENT" come to? Who are we? We were the LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE! He makes me ashamed! He makes me sick! He is not one of us!

Well as usual bho is on the wrong side and supported Zelaya (bho has blood on his hands). Micheletti was the one that neeed our support...sad...It seems that Obama really likes the dictators like Zelaya,and Castro, and his buddy Chavez. They are his best friends it seems..

This thug mafia behavior is exactly why America should stand with Micheletti and not the dictator.

This is not the only person being murdered. A colonel was murdered and an elder statesman was kidnapped this morning as he left his home. The Zelaya mobs see they are not making any progress so they are defaujting to their natural mode of operation. All the violence thathas occured since June 28th has been started By Zelaya thugs.

This is so sad. Even worse, that the USA, by supporting their guy Zelaya, puts the blood on the hands of Obama. Sorry that Hillary has gotten stern in her comments about Micheletti - thought she would at least stand for freedom. So much for Obama supporting anyone's quest for freedom.

It must work for them! I am more worried about MY Country. We might, sometime in the future, need a little of the same type here in America. Our Government and it's Leaders are treating all of us as though we were their slaves. We Bail out BANKS? What the DUCK is this? Freedom at any cost!!
