US embassy cable - 05TEGUCIGALPA994

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.

1. On 05/10 the Tegucigalpa-based liberal daily "La Tribuna" 
published an op-ed by Gautama Fonseca entitled "The 
Decision."  "The presidents of Central America decided to 
travel to the U.S. to beg Congress to approve CAFTA as 
quickly as possible." 
 
"Never in history of mankind was there a higher moment of 
servitude, of greater insensitivity and disdain for human 
beings." 
 
"They haven't even asked anyone here what they think about 
CAFTA. But, they don't hesitate to affirm that government 
representatives are in charge." 
 
"This handful of men keeps acting with the same 
irresponsibility, with the same cold blood and indifference. 
The faces and the names have changed, but not the conduct. 
They are the same wolves disguised as lambs." 
 
"It's horrible to have to witness the show in which our 
presidents are starring!" 
 
"How horrible!"
