BOGOTA – The regime that ousted Manuel Zelaya in Honduras claimed Tuesday that the deposed president allowed tons of cocaine to be flown into the Central American country on its way to the United States.
"Every night, three or four Venezuelan-registered planes land without the permission of appropriate authorities and bring thousands of pounds ... and packages of money that are the fruit of drug trafficking," its foreign minister, Enrique Ortez, told CNN en Espanol.
"We have proof of all of this. Neighboring governments have it. The DEA has it," he added.
U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration spokesman Rusty Payne in Washington said he could neither confirm nor deny a DEA investigation.
Zelaya was traveling from New York to Washington and could not immediately be reached to respond to the allegations.

Larry Sinclair is looking more truthful with each passing day, huh?
Frankly, I don’t think 90% of the people in the US are even aware there was anything going on in Honduras. Of the remaining 10% about 90% of them only watch Government controlled media and believe there was an unlawful coup leaving 1% who pay attention and know what went on. Only about 1/2 of those give a damn. Some of that .05% percentage are liberal socialist marxist supporters who support the return to power of Zelaya.
I have seen accounts of this in the Spanish press (from Spain, that is). Zelaya was known for corruption, a lot of it having to do with drugs, the “revolutionary’s” favorite funding source.
“Zelaya was traveling from New York to Washington ...”
Taking a stash to Barry?
For weeks, Zelaya -- an erratic leftist who styles himself after his good pal Hugo Chávez of Venezuela -- has been engaged in a naked and illegal power grab, trying to rewrite the Honduran constitution to allow him to run for reelection in November.First Zelaya scheduled a national vote on a constitutional convention. After the Honduran supreme court ruled that only the country's congress could call such an election, Zelaya ordered the army to help him stage it anyway. (It would be ''non-binding,'' he said.) When the head of the armed forces, acting on orders from the supreme court, refused, Zelaya fired him, then led a mob to break into a military base where the ballots were stored.
His actions have been repudiated by the country's supreme court, its congress, its attorney-general, its chief human-rights advocate, all its major churches, its main business association, his own political party (which recently began debating an inquiry into Zelaya's sanity) and most Hondurans: Recent polls have shown his approval rating down below 30 percent
Hey, if Al Franken can fight his way from an electoral loss into the Senate...anything is possible. :(
I’ve been saying this for a couple days. Glad some reporter knows it.
*******
Honduras is an emerging wholesale narcoeconomy.
Seriously.

Osama Obama would obviously have supported ADOLF HITLER who did a similar thing when HE lost the election.
It’s unfortunate Obama so rapidly stands on the same side as Venezuela’s Chavez!

LOL.
Drug ties?
Nah, lefties never do that. Must be right wing talking points....
Yep, always follow the money (or drugs)
Mr Republican Senator, Congressman,
Have you ever taken money or been associated with Center for American Progress or any other communist front origination funded by Mr Soros?
After several discussions with my 16 yr. old nephew, I can agree with what you say.
There are many older people who just don’t want to get involved, they stick their heads in the sand, or are too old to care anymore. Then there are the ones who still believe in, “we are America... we’ve always come through.” Nothing will ever change that. What blinders they have on.
Boy are they going to be surprised. I don’t think there will be any walk of life that won’t be hurt by this Dick-tater.
I see he is very, very worried about his fellow Communists.
Jesus Christ is the Messiah. The evil man above is another candidate for Hell unless he comes to Jesus and begs for forgiveness.
I don’t think 90% of the people in the US are even aware there was anything going on in Honduras.
