MORE MARXIST MAYHEM IN MESOAMERICA: ZELAYA-BACKED KIDNAPPING IN HONDURAS?

IAF: Zelaya behind abduction?

Assailants kidnapped the father of Honduras' acting defence minister on Tuesday in a case that immediately took on political overtones amid a bitter, unresolved political crisis.

The kidnapping of Alfredo Jalil, a wealthy businessman and father of acting deputy defence minister Gabo Jalil, followed by just days the murder of a nephew of the country's de facto leader, Roberto Micheletti.

No evidence has been presented linking either case to the rising political tensions over deadlocked diplomatic efforts to end the crisis set off by the 28 June ouster of President Manuel Zelaya.

THIS ABDUCTION IS CERTAINLY IN THE STYLE OF PUTIN, CASTRO, CHAVEZ, AND ORTEGA.

AND THESE ARE THE THUGS OBAMA WANTS TO APPEASE.

DISGUSTING.

AND IT WILL ONLY EMBOLDEN THEM AND MAKE US LESS SAFE.
