- Behind the Coup Regime Curtain
By Al Giordano - narconews.com : October 03, 2009
Reading the international press wires from Honduras in recent days, too many give the impression that Honduras coup "president" Roberto Micheletti has lifted last Sunday’s decree that suspended constitutional rights of free speech, press, assembly, transit and due process. No such thing has happened. The decree, in all its repressive brutality, is still in full force.

- Washington Plays Both Sides on Honduran Coup
By Laura Carlsen - americasmexico.blogspot.com : October 03, 2009
The good news is that Washington has finally begun to take stronger actions on Honduras. The bad news is that the actions completely contradict each other, resulting in ambiguity, paralysis and infighting as the Honduran crisis explodes.

- Giving Aaron Schock a Pass on Honduras and DeMint
By Steve Clemons - huffingtonpost.com : October 03, 2009
Schock may be doing real investigating -- while Sen. DeMint is siding with others in a foreign government -- a coup-installed government -- against the government of the United States. He is working hard there as an elected U.S. government official to actively undermine American policy. I suspect that Rep. Schock is going down to check out what is real and what is not in the mess of the Honduras coup and its aftermath -- but Jim DeMint is going down to "meddle" in the situation and to encourage the coup leaders to stand strong against the White House and the U.S. Department of State.
- Honduras: Arias and Insulza send in "The Cleaner"
By hondurasoye.wordpress.com : October 03, 2009
A few days later, I learned that Biehl, actually his name is John Biehl del Rio, is an advisor to OAS Secretary-General, Jose Miguel Insulza. Then, just a few days ago, Arias declared support for the November 29 election. And today, Biehl del Rio announces that a meeting between the golpistas and Zelaya will take place next week. Is this guy a fortune teller, a magician? No wonder, out of the ill-fated attempt by OAS officials to enter Honduras a week ago, Biehl was the only one allowed in. I don’t know about you, but when the history is written, I would prefer to be one of the guys turned away by the golpistas at the airport.

- Kerry, GOP senator tussle over Honduran trip
By Farah Stockman - boston.com : October 03, 2009
For the last three months, John F. Kerry, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has tried to get Senate confirmation for two senior Obama administration officials on Latin America. And for the last three months, one man has stood in his way: Jim DeMint, a first-term Republican senator from South Carolina, who is known for stubbornly blocking legislation he doesn't like. So this week, Kerry made an unusual power play: He informed DeMint that the committee would not authorize him to go on a fact-finding mission to Honduras.
