TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS

Friday, February 18, 2005

Prensa Latina newswire February 19:

Latin America is shocked with the appointment of John Dimitri Negroponte as director of intelligence, a man that helped write the worst pages of US imperial diplomacy with his support to governments charged with gross human right abuses.

Nicaragua"s El Nuevo Diario recalled this week that as Ambassador to Tegucigalpa (1981-1985) during the Reagan Administration he turned Honduras into one of the most important military bases and counterintelligence during the Cold War to topple Sandinism.

National Security Archives Analyst Peter Kornbluh said that declassified information on the Iran-Contras scandal indicate that Negroponte was involved in seeking more weaponry for the contras "the role that normally would be reserved for the (CIA) station chief."

The journal even quoted Commander Tomas Borge, a member of the former Nicaraguan Sandinista government, who called Negroponte "the most efficient and ideal representative for the Bush administration"s primitive international security policy."

Also well known is his involvement in the creation of the sinister death squads that swept through Central America, and particularly in El Salvador and Guatemala, to neutralize the left-wing movement. Those squads even killed US citizens.
