Roberto Lovato, Contributing Associate Editor at New America Media, and Andres Thomas Conteris, the founder of Democracy Now! en Espanol on the political impasse in Honduras and the US role in negotiations to reach a deal between the coup leaders and ousted president Manuel Zelaya. Obama may be paying lip service to the fact that the coup is illegitimate but the actions of the US State Department speak otherwise. Meanwhile, according to Lovato, the number of those who have been beaten, disappeared, and perhaps even killed continues to rise. Does the United States support Zelaya's return to power? More than 55 scholars and experts on Latin America have urged Obama to warn the regime against further violence in Honduras.
