Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active

At least 18 prisoners were killed in a fight at the main jail in Tegucigalpa, capital of Honduras. Police were called in to restore order after prisoners attacked another group of inmates with knives and machetes May 4. On April 27, nine inmates were killed in fighting with knives and handguns at a prison in San Pedro Sula. Some of those killed in Tegucigalpa had been transfered there after the violence in San Pedro Sula. Some of the Tegucigalpa victims were beheaded. The violence is blamed on overcrowding and gang rivalries. (AlJazeera, BBC, May 4; UPI, April 27)
The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.
