Activists accuse World Bank of deadly dealings in Honduras

I get reports almost daily from independent journalists and human rights workers about raping, murdering, and pillaging by police, military, and paramilitary forces in Honduras and Guatamala to support the interests of US and Canadian corporations. I rarely see news of this reported in US media, and when it is, it is framed very carefully using words like "alleged" and "activists accuse" as we see in this headline. Nevertheless, this report is much better at providing some factual content which exposes the neoliberal role of the World Bank in service to North American corporations at the expense of Honduran farmers.
