Lanny Davis and his second best friend Eliot Engel are at it again (y'all know who his best friend is). Click here for the official announcement (copied and pasted below). None of the below "experts" are qualified to give an informed, critical, or holistic analysis of the situation in Honduras. Even the liberal human rights organization WOLA has had blinders on due to its too-close friendship with golpista Roberto Flores Bermudez, who is, to the discredit of my own employer, currently Diplomat in Residence (when not even the State Department will allow him to return due to his central role in legitimating the Honduran coup). The good thing about this panel is that it is so outrageous that hopefully it will get noticed as such, and Honduras might once again be in the news. Any press is good press?
