1. No kidding! Have never seen anything like it.

This is something special, roody!

Thanks for posting the link.

2. People should take time to look at the photos from Honduras. n/t

3. They are not working on my MacBook.

5. They showed up on my laptop's Windows Media Player.

Guess that's the problem.

Hmmmm.

I just tried to see if I could get the URL of any of the photos, and that won't work. They are running in a slide show.

Photos of some real deep wounding of some protesters, including deep welts and bruising on the backs from police clubs, and one guy has his left side nearly caved in from being kicked viciously.

Apparently they are equal opportunity monsters, as they free and lustily beat men and women alike

There are bullet casings protesters picked up from the ground, and people being hauled off to the stadium.

Tons of protesters, as there have been from the first day.

6. The photos are taking an unusual amount of time to download on my Mac.

Still waiting. The blue bar is about 20% completed.

Not good, having to wait so long, but it IS worthwhile seeing how these protesters are faring

at the hands of the golpistas.

Someone should send these photos to the assinine South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint, and the 3 idiot Cuban "exile" Republican Congresscritters from South Florida: Lincoln Diaz-Balart, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, and Mario Diaz-Balart.
The Diaz-Balarts' aunt on their father's side is the ex-wife of Fidel Castro, by the way.

Fidel Castro Diaz-Balart, son of Cuba's former President Fidel Castro and senior researcher and professor of the Cuban Academy of Sciences, left, meets his mother Mirta Diaz-Balart, during the opening session of a scientific seminar in Havana Friday Nov. 14, 2008. Diaz-Balart, daughter of a prominent Cuban politician, and Fidel Castro married in 1948 and divorced seven years later, while Castro was in exile, after having one child.

(Mother lives in Spain, from what I understand.)

8. The download produced gibberish. No photos. It is not a Mac-friendly site. nt

12. Kent State

You should have been at Kent State.

13. Why? So she could be dead?

4. Great find, roody!

7. Someone needs to fund translation of this site to English (or find the volunteers to do so).

Just a casual glance down the page, by this very poor Spanish reader, reveals numerous articles that I would like to read in full (and have reliable translations of). The English-speaking world--especially the U.S.--gets so little real information on Latin America, it is just pathetic. I hunger for it, and try to help disseminate it, wherever I can. Lately, I've been Google translating (and then transliterating a bit) some articles posted by Downwinder which are in Spanish, when I see one of particular interest. But it takes a lot of time, and is certainly not even an adequate translation--just the gist of it. I would also urge DUers in the L/A. Forum to provide English translations whenever possible. Educating the English-speaking world on these issues is vitally important!

9. I learned only recently you can take the URL from an article and post IT

in the text box at google translate, instead of copying and pasting the Spanish text in there.

It seems far faster than I expected, and it's possible my imagination, but it seems the translation is better than the way it comes through doing it other way.

See if that helps, if you haven't done it yet.

I share your position, having been away from language classes far too long.

10. I have been using Firefox with a Babelfish addon which

provides either a paragraph or a page translation with a right click. i do not yet know how to copy properly. Sometimes it looses the whole page. It appears that google translates once and then stores the page for successive requests.

11. I am guessing that you are in the know about most of the

info there, but your point is well taken.

There I found the list of graduates of SOA, the list before they started redacting names of course.
