RL - I think that whole article is a warped extremist view of what occurred in Honduras and Nicaragua. I hate it when people bring that crap up especially if they weren't there doing a hard job for good people.
Negroponte was appointed Ambassador to the UN after a six month hold-up to look into his back ground. If there was any truth to what Hans writes it would have been "ferreted" out at the time. Furthermore, he gets points for being the Ambassador during a trying time - when Bush was making the case for WMD in Iraq on faulty intel. That alone gives him good reason to want to do a better job than has happened in the past.

Those who have worked with Negroponte universally say he battles fiercely to change policy -- but never take his battles public. He often talks about making sure that military and political power are harnessed for the same ends.

NDD - I'm supposed to tell you that the SF tool box is not limited to sledgehammers for killing flies.
