1. Editorial on front-page corner of Tegucigalpa-based
moderate daily "El Heraldo" on 3/16 entitled "Mending
errors." "As El Heraldo warned when it was decided to send
troops, the continuing terrorist attacks and the
announcement of the withdrawal of the Spanish troops from
Iraq have shown that the government made a poor decision by
sending Honduran troops to help the U.S. maintain their
occupation in Iraq. We wish this lamentable error could be
mended as soon as possible."
