Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

UNCLAS TEGUCIGALPA 001051 SIPDIS FOR WHA/PDA, IIP/G/WHA, IIP/T/ES, AND WHA/CEN FOR PM, WHA/PPC, AND NEA/NGA E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: OIIP, PREL, KPAO, PGOV, MOPS, HO SUBJECT: MEDIA REACTION ON IRAQ, MAY 6, 2004 1. Editorial in Tegucigalpa-based liberal daily "La Tribuna" on 5/6 entitled "Torture." "President Bush has been forced to use the Arab television network Al Arabiya in an attempt to quiet the wave of international indignation, especially in the Middle East and the U.S., that has arisen as a result of the disclosure of evidence that American soldiers have tortured and abused Iraqi prisoners." "Bush has had to face this disgraceful situation, and has tried to appease the anger it has provoked in the Arab world." "As we see it, the post-war problems in Iraq have proved much more difficult than invading, overthrowing and capturing Saddam Hussein." Pierce
