Honduran dictator further restricts free speech

Jim DeMint and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen violated the Logan Act to meet this tyrant?

De facto Honduran dictator Roberto Micheletti is now taking new steps to muzzle journalistic freedom - after he broke a pledge to remove restrictions he had already imposed.

Micheletti's new law allows the government to close down media outlets it disagrees with. He has already used his existing measures to shutter media organizations.

At least he's being more transparent than the censorious control freaks behind the U.S. telcom law "overhaul" of '96 were.
