HRN:El presidente interino hondureño Roberto Micheletti dijo que vuelve "totalmente satisfecho" a Tegucigalpa tras dialogar con el mandatario costarricense Oscar Arias, pero su delegación seguirá conversando con representantes del depuesto Manuel Zelaya, con quien no habló personalmente en San José.Related Links:
Los miembros de la comisión por parte del gobierno interino son: el ex canciller Carlos López Contreras, la ex Presidenta de la Corte Suprema de Justicia Vilma Cecilia Morales, el ex candidato presidemcial de la Democracia Cristiana Arturo Corrales Alvarez y el Director del Fondo de Convergencia Nacional (FONAC) Mauricio Villeda Bermúdez.
Se ha iniciado el diálogo y queda instalada nuestra comisión de trabajo", señaló Micheletti luego de hablar con Arias, agregando que dejó una comisión de cuatro miembros para seguir conversando en busca de una solución a la crisis hondureña bajo la mediación del presidente de Costa Rica.
Agregó que regresa "totalmente satisfecho" a Tegucigalpa y prometió un proceso electoral "transparente y seguro" para los comicios generales en Honduras, previstos para noviembre próximo.
Por su parte el destituido presidente Manuel Zelaya no dio declaraciones después de reunirse con Arias, y solo movió su dedo en forma negativa para señalar que no se verá con Micheletti.
Aunque no se dio a conocer oficialmente los miembros de la comsión nombrados por parte de Zelaya, se suponen que serán su canciller Patricia Rodas Baca, su comisionado vicepresidencial y ex ministro de Defensa Arístides Mejía, su presidente de la Comisión de Banca y Seguros y ex canciller Milton Jiménez Puerto y el ex presidente del Congreso Nacional Carlos Orbin Montoya.

Constitutional Honduran President Roberto Micheletti Bain (Daylife-Reuters)Related Links:President Obama has denounced the actions taken by the Honduran Congress, Supreme Court and military, all actions taken under the rule of law -- Honduran law -- in the nonviolent arrest and removal from office of strongman (caudillo) Manuel Zelaya. President Obama's denunciation was based, using Jay D. Homnick's apt phrase, on "standard collegiate peacenik rhetoric."
Joining in this shame are the UN General Assembly that approved a resolution by consensus without a formal vote on June 30 (press release; text), and the Organization of American States (OAS) that issued a resolution by acclamation on July 5 (press release and text).
Among the supporters of Zelaya are the caudillo of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, the president of the United Nations General Assembly, and the secretary general of the OAS. Who are the latter two?
The General Secretary of the OAS is José Miguel Insulza. He is a Chilean lawyer who obtained an M.A. in political science from the University of Michigan. He was a part of the Marxist Allende government and was exiled from Chile from 1973 to 1988.
The president of the United Nations General Assembly is Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann. From 1979 to 1990 he was the Foreign Minister of the Marxist, Sandinista, Nicaraguan government. His official biography on the United Nations website, presumably one approved by d'Escoto, repeatedly states that he is a Catholic priest. The biography ignores the fact that the Vatican suspended his priestly faculties, and those of two other Sandinista priests, Ernesto and Fernando Cardenal, in the 1980s, more than 20 years ago.
In his Inaugural Address, President Kennedy issued a warning to former colonies who sought to model themselves after the Soviet Union. He warned them to defend their own freedoms and not seek power by riding the back of the Soviet tiger lest they end up inside. Today, his words serve as a warning to President Obama. Instead of supporting the Hondurans who are defending their freedom, he is riding the tigers of international socialists like Zelaya, Chavez, d'Escoto and Insulza. He will end up inside.
