Central America. Good Times.

In another example of the extremely depressing violent history of Central America, check out this story from the Guatemala Solidarity Network. 3 Salvadoran politicians were recently murdered in Guatemala. There was no attempt to cover this up. Interestingly, 4 Guatemalan police officers were arrested for the crime. They were then murdered in their jail cells. Interestingly, one of the murdered Salvadorans was the son of the vile Roberto D'Aubuisson, who organized the death squads of the 1980s.

Information on the case is sketchy. Was there a cover up? Were the Guatemalan officers killed because they did this so stupidly, i.e. in a vehicle tracked by GPS? Don't know. But in any case, wow. These were prominent Salvadoran leaders. Guatemala, not a good place.

I'd like to think that Central America is continuing on its long, slow road to stability. But with things like this, I just don't know.

Good times.
