Sobre "la posible restitución de Zelaya a la presidencia (...) mi gobierno ha decidido apoyar una propuesta que permite un voto en el Congreso Nacional, con una previa opinión de la Corte Suprema de Justicia, para retrotraer todo el poder ejecutivo previo al 28 de junio del 2009", precisó Micheletti.

Dude, you didn't FORM a government. You launched a coup. You're illegal. You don't get to vote on ANYTHING. Get the hell out, NOW.

There may be an end to the Honduran situation:

Even so, I don't like the coalition thing ... head golpista guy has never been able to get himself elected President.

I thought this line was hilarious:

"Brazil immediately disputed the move, saying that government had no standing to file it."

Ha, ha, coupsters!

UNASUR did that to the white separatists who (--egged on and funded by the US ambassador) tried to split off Bolivia's gas/oil rich eastern provinces into a fascist mini-state in control of Bolivia's main resources, last September. They rioted, trashed gov't buildings, took over an airport, sabotaged a gas pipeline and machine-gunned some 30 unarmed peasant farmers. Then they claimed that they were a legitimate government and should be "at the table" when UNASUR discussed the crisis at an emergency meeting. Chile was chairing UNASUR at the time and Michele Batchelet said, ""Over my dead body, you will sit at this table! Get lost!" or words to that effect.

That's what you do with golpistas, Barack!

I thought it's interesting that DAS actually admitted the authenticity of the document. So this is all true but the work of rogue criminal elements.

UN to Gorilletti: Suck it!

En una sesión dedicada a evaluar la situación en Centroamérica, la Asamblea General de la Asamblea General de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) reclamó la restitución en su cargo del presidente legítimo de Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, que hace cuatro meses fue apartado del poder a través de un golpe de Estado militar.

Uh, I believe this calls for a loud chorus of "Neener neener neener"!

The Vzlan ambassador in Palin-land:

Venezuelan Ambassador Travels to Alaska

Bernardo Alvarez, Venezuela’s Ambassador to the United States will travel to Alaska on October 28-30, 2009 to strengthen relations with the state’s indigenous tribes and promote cultural, commercial and academic links between the U.S. and Venezuela.

During his trip to Alaska, Ambassador Alvarez will meet with elected officials, speak to students and faculty at the University of Alaska and participate in some media interviews. He will also meet with the executive leadership of the Alaska Inter-Tribal Council and speak to a number of tribal chiefs that have benefited from a discounted heating oil program sponsored by the CITGO Corporation, which is owned by Venezuela’s state oil company PDVSA. Since 2007, low-income Alaskans – primarily members of the state’s indigenous tribes – have been eligible for the program.

Ambassador Alvarez’s visit will mark his first trip to Alaska since returning to his post in June 2009. In September 2008, Ambassador Alvarez left the U.S. during a diplomatic dispute; his return earlier this year marked the first time in U.S. diplomatic history that an ambassador has been allowed to return to his post.

In the public events Ambassador Alvarez will address Venezuela’s experience at building a participatory – democracy system, social justice in the region, and US-Venezuela relations.

Ambassador Alvarez will also highlight the links between Alaska and Venezuela. Though they are thousands of miles apart, Alaska has more in common with Venezuela than any other U.S. state. Like Venezuela, Alaska depends heavily on oil for its revenues. More than that, though, both Alaska and Venezuela use the oil to benefit social welfare. Venezuela directs much of its oil revenue towards social programs to benefit the poor, while Alaska splits up oil revenues amongst its residents. Also important is the fact that Alaska has a rich indigenous heritage, with over 10,000 members of various indigenous groups in the state. Venezuela shares a similar heritage, and celebrates it as vital to the country’s social fabric.

Since being appointed as Venezuela’s top envoy to the U.S. in 2003, Ambassador Alvarez has traveled to a number of states promoting people-to-people ties based on culture, commerce, energy and sports. Prior to serving in Washington, Ambassador Alvarez occupied a number of posts in Venezuela’s Ministry of Energy and Mines, where he focused on the country’s oil industry.

Embassy of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela Press and Communications Office / October 28, 2009

They witheld some details relating to Salomón, I am assuming they are coordinating stuff with Ecuador too.

This was discovered a few weeks ago I think (last week maybe) and Jose Vicente Rangel's Sunday show on Televen gave an advance (I knew about the Fenix, Salomon, etc. business and the fact that they were apparently operating from the US Embassy already)

Yeah, I listened to El-Aissami's presentation live; TeleSur is running parts from time to time too.

Well, they probably DO have antecedentes penales, but then is there anyone in DAS who doesn¡t?

Utpal: Without fail, Colombia once again declared that, by gosh, these captured dudes weren't DAS agents working on behalf of the Colombian government!

They were more of those rogue criminal elements.

Everyone ever connected with Uribe, no matter how closely and how receiving of his support, becomes a 'rogue criminal element' when they're caught, like all the people who were the directors of DAS and nominated by Alvaro Uribe but who then totally without his knowledge and totally in rogue fashion, even though they were reportedly meeting in Uribe's own offices, spied on anyone who might have tangentially smelled like Uribe's opposition and shared this information with the narco-paramilitary death squads so that they could more effectively assassinate their targets.

And here is Colombia now complaining because Venezuela has DAS documents that make Colombia worried.

Including operations to bribe, corrupt, and suborn high officials of the Venezuelan military and government.

Los expedientes atribuidos al DAS señalan la existencia de una llamada operación "Salomón" , que tiene "tres dimensiones" con despliegue de acciones de "espionaje en contra de Ecuador" , en Cuba, bajo el nombre de "proyecto Fénix" y en Venezuela como "proyecto Falcón" , declaró El Aissami.

Esos documentos recogen las diligencias adelantadas entre "abril y mayo pasado" por una oficina de control interno del DAS que investigaba al menos a cuatro de sus agentes por un caso de "fuga de información clasificada" , de acuerdo a lo explicado por el alto funcionario venezolano.

Uno de los entrevistados, "Carlos Orguela Orguela, de cédula colombiana número 79.596.402" , dijo en los interrogatorios, según citó El Aissami, que la "Operación Salomón (...) se compone actualmente de 144 funcionarios, y los gastos" operativos corren por cuenta "del DAS y la Embajada Americana a través de la CIA".

La Embajada de Estados Unidos, presumiblemente en Colombia según lo citado por el ministro, "paga el arriendo de la única oficina fachada que tiene los grupos" de espías, dijo Orguela, de acuerdo al documento del DAS presentado en Caracas.

"Del apoyo operativo dado por el DAS y la CIA se logró el reclutamiento de fuentes humanas de alto perfil, que actualmente suministran información estratégica al DAS (...) y su información se paga a través de un programa especial de pagos", añadió El Aissami.

Orguela, según el documento atribuido al DAS y leído por el ministro, aseveró que "las actividades resultados de los operativos" de espionaje "fueron dados a conocer al señor presidente (...) Uribe, al ministro de Defensa Juan Manuel Santos (...) en tres presentaciones oficiales y una informal" , en fechas no reveladas.

El "Proyecto Salomón" se desarrolló entre "enero y abril" pasados, pero "los directores del DAS ordenaron continuar con las actividades" incluida la de "reclutamiento de fuentes humanas dentro de Venezuela y Cuba" , indicó el documento presentado por El Aissami.

El "objetivo" de la operación en Venezuela era "recabar información de la Fuerza Armada Nacional Bolivariana, particularmente de las milicias bolivarianas, buscar " información de altos funcionarios del Gobierno" a fin de " sobornar y corromper a funcionarios de la administración pública", y " captar líderes del oposicionismo venezolano".

Quick! Get Senator Jim DeMint down there to say everything's awesome!

Thank you, Colombian defenders of Democracy in the Hemisphere! You are and ever shall be Jackson Diehl's and Fred Hiatt's friends!

Hoo! Ha haha ha ha. Just as I'd hoped, Pinochetti is stupid enough to push his luck on this one. Boy, is HE about to get his ass handed to him...LOL!

Your argument is undermined by the inaccuracy of facts. Honduras has been under a coup government for FOUR (4) months now. ;)

Unbelievable.

So Tarek El-Aissami gave a presentation in the Venezuelan Congress today, showing an alleged DAS document about espionage in Vzla, Ecuador and Cuba (Operations Falcón, Salomón and Fenix respectively). Apparently 3 DAS agents (2 Colombians and 1 Vzlan) are also under arrest.

Who are the coup govts' lawyers and PR agencies again? Lanny Davis is gone, right?
