Negroponte

As for Bush’s nomination of John Negroponte as US Ambassador to Iraq, I can be brief. He was ambassador to Honduras during Iran-Contra, ambassdor to Mexico during repression of the Zapatistas in Chiapas, and ambassador to the UN when the US bolted into Iraq. Nothing to learn about peacemaking here. The superhighway of links to Negroponte’s record might begin with Al Martin at almartinraw.com, who is a veteran and former Iran-Contra insider.
