Here is another name that just won’t go away…John Negroponte, buddy of Bush 1 and deeply involved in the Iran-Contra Affair, gets one more reward for holding the line, the party line. Despite the good fight to reveal just what kind of a person he is, he will be approved as the head of the newest bureaucracy, the office of the National Intelligence Director.
Negroponte, served as President Reagan's ambassador to Honduras from 1981 to 1985. During that time he illegally trained, supported and armed the Contra rebels in Honduras with a goal of overthrowing the Sandinistas in Nicaragua. Negroponte's support of the Contras was a violation of American law.The Honduran Army's Battalion 316 was trained by the CIA under Negroponte's direction. During Negroponte's years in Honduras, Battalion 316 killed or “disappeared” at least 185 political enemies. Among those killed were two American citizens.
And let’s not forget John Bolton. Despite damning testimony that even the Republicans had to acknowledge and couldn’t spin away, he will be confirmed as the Ambassador to the UN.

Speaking of John’s…here is one more; John Poindexter, the rehabilitated criminal, made whole again.

All of these appointments make me wonder…does the current occupant of the White House ever have an original thought?
