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 001529 SIPDIS STATE FOR WHA/PDA (MBUCKLEY); WHA/CEN E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: OIIP, PREL, KPAO, PGOV, IZ, HO SUBJECT: MEDIA REACTION ON DRUG TRAFFICKING, JUNE 30, 2003 1. Article in Tegucigalpa-based liberal daily "La Tribuna" on 6/30 entitled "Honduras on course to become a Narco State". "U.S. Ambassador Larry Palmer stated that even though Honduras is not considered a `Narco State', it may be on course to become one." "Palmer affirmed, `that is why it is essential to take needed action as early as possible to avoid this through the legal institutions and through the police'." "When asked about the role of the General Attorney's Office, Palmer declared, `I don't think it has done a good job because during the nine months I've been in Honduras, I haven't seen it accuse or prosecute any of the prominent individuals who are suspected of being involved in criminal activities'." Palmer
