"Honduras And Drugs"
This may seem like a Honduras sidebar story; however, it does seem to indicate the character of the deposed President...
I found this in an Investors Business Daily opinion column:
"Foreign Minister Enrique Ortez dropped a bombshell last week when he said Zelaya, the president who was thrown out by a constitutional process June 28 after defying the law, had a little side business with the Caracas caudillo allowing cocaine to roll into Honduras from Venezuela before heading to the U.S.
'Every night, three or four Venezuelan-registered planes land without the permission of appropriate authorities and bring thousands of pounds . . . and packages of money that are the fruit of drug trafficking,' Ortez told CNN En Espanol. 'We have proof of all of this. Neighboring governments have it. The DEA has it.'"
