The Media - The N.Y. Times vs. Congressman Connie Mack
Somebody is wrong here.
I wonder where the New York Times got their info...
I wonder where the New York Times got their info...
On his website, Congressman Mack says:
"'I spoke to President Micheletti today by telephone. The New York Times story is utterly untrue and there is no deal to bring Manuel Zelaya back to power. The people of Honduras do not want and will not accept Zelaya’s return.'
'Zelaya was removed from the presidency through a legal process established by the Honduran Constitution. He was voted out of office by the Honduran National Congress. The Honduran Supreme Court ordered Zelaya’s arrest. This was not a coup. This is a matter of Honduran law and sovereignty.'
'The ones supporting the ousted President include Hugo Chavez and other leftist dictators in Latin America.'
'The Obama Administration’s position is appalling. They are siding with the forces of evil against the forces of freedom. They are involving themselves in the internal politics of a sovereign nation. It is wrong and must be stopped.'
'Furthermore, I am outraged that the Obama Administration pulled the visas of Honduran officials who didn’t agree with the Administration’s policies, and threatened to pull more. They are retaliating against Honduran judges and Members of Congress for taking positions against Hugo Chavez and other leftists in Latin America.'
'Manuel Zelaya broke the law. The New York Times story is inaccurate and fabricated.'"
