Fucking School for the Americas...
US handprints all over this one.
Course we usually use a drone... this is just the old-school version. The eternal "Unknown Assailants"
I do not pretend I know what I do not know.

continue to be covered in blood. FSoS's actions are the unwanted gift that keeps on giving.
Do I hear the sound of guillotines being constructed?

If it doesn't apply, why are they so offended?
I didn't say a goddamn THING about Clinton.
I said it bore all the hallmarks of a US assassination, as we've done in the past. Unnamed assailants is the old way to do it, and one of the standard tactics of the School for the Americas. If it had been a Drone Strike I would have happily blamed it on Clinton with no regrets.

I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
They remind of gun nutty NRA types who always say
"It's too soon!" when someone brings up the issue of gun control after a mass shooting.
For crimes against humanity, it's never too soon.
But then, of course, Honduras is not on Samantha Power's approved shit list, so I guess it's all OK then.
