Democrats put pressure on Obama over Honduras

Mark Weisbrot, co-director of the Centre for Economic and Policy Research in Washington, reports how, earlier this month, 94 Democrat members of the US House of Representatives sent a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asking her "to suspend US assistance to the Honduran military and police given the credible allegations of widespread, serious violations of human rights attributed to the security forces". But the US mainstream media have practically ignored their move, he adds.
