Honduras police accused of death squad killings
By Alberto Arce
"Police have long been accused of operating more like assassins than law enforcement officers in Honduras, but few cases ever have been investigated. In the past year, police were alleged to have been involved in the deaths of a prominent Honduran radio journalist and the son of a former police chief - but neither killing has been solved."
The next line is the classic "Despite millions of dollars in U.S. aid to Honduras aimed at professionalizing the country's police"...
