3. That's a great article. It gave more information on the 2 recent drug-involved Honduran Presidents

than I have seen before, and it was definitely helpful.

Hard to believe that the first "elected' President, after the President Zelaya kidnapping by the elite-controlled military in 2009, Lobo,



was so audacious as to allow his son to start trafficking, and that the next President and his son BOTH got involved in side-jobs, too, making millions, and they were off to the races. All the extreme violence was kicked off after the overthrow of José Manuel Zelaya (Mel), at which time they dragged a former death squad leader out of retirement and made him the head of the police force.

The info. in the article you posted was shocking concerning these brazen Presidents. Honduras still is controlled by only a few extremely wealthy and powerful families. That's a bad way to go.

The article also informs that there is another "Mara", "Mara 13" and that "Mara" means "gang." Didn't know that.

(Got to the article on the "incognito" option available through google chrome, right click brings it up on the drop down thing, and I was able to read it without paying!)

Thank you, for the article. It was very helpful.
