Like the previous bookmark I added, this is another article on the Honduran Crisis. This one discusses the U.S. government's approach to the issue.

This is a very recent news about ousted president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya. Honduran lawmakers will not decide whether to restore Zelaya until after upcoming presidential elections, which is on Nov. 29th, the congressional leader said Tuesday, a decision that could undermine international support for the vote. Some say the result of this upcoming election should not be accepted officially because it is held under the interim government.

The recent killing of prominent lawyer Rodrigo Rosenberg has created uproar in Guatemala. The most chilling part, however, is that he predicted his own death, and the link to the video he made days before his assassination is provided in the article.
