On Democracy Now, Greg Gra...Crossposted to Quotha:<br /><br />On Democracy Now, Greg Grandin said, " She [HRC] talks [in the <a href="https://foia.state.gov/Search/Results.aspx?collection=Clinton_Email" rel="nofollow">e-mails </a> released by State] —the process by which she works to delegitimate Zelaya and legitimate the elections, which Cáceres, in that interview, talks about were taking place under extreme militarized conditions, fraudulent, a fig leaf of democracy, are all in the emails." To my great surprise, Karen Attiah pretty forcefully backed up the idea that HRC assisted the coup government. <br /><br />I wondered if you are planning to do a detailed analysis (I am not). It seemed to me in the little time I spent on them that they are in the opaque, self-protective prose characteristic of corporate CEOs. Rather than make a decision about the coup, she asks what others think, for example. Shannon wants to condemn the coup in fairly strong language. There's back and forth about meeting with Zelaya and representatives of the coup. The effect is to delay. Then, of course, she shifts the process from "regular order" (through the OAS) to non-binding negotiations. I couldn't identify a moment when she shifted course. There are many redactions, of course. <br /><br />So the question remains as to whether she was in on the coup from the beginning, whether she decided part-way through that defending Zelaya was too much trouble, or whether she simply had no clue. October, I think it was, was the first moment when she took action to prop up the coup through the Millennium Challenge foundation.
