Americas' new death squad director

We don't need a man famous for Death Squads in Guatemala, El Salvador, perhaps Chile, and elsewhere to be the national security director.

John Negroponte is not a good man. Not a good man for the job. Not someone I want coordinating our intelligence. Not someone I want to have watching over me. I mean, he was a poor ambassador to the UN, a poor choice to head the embassy in Iraq, but this is ... really bad news.

... To quote from wikipedia:

Records also show that a special intelligence unit (commonly referred to as a "death squad") of the Honduran armed forces, Battalion 3-16, trained by the CIA and Argentine military, kidnapped, tortured and killed hundreds of people, including US missionaries. Critics charge that Negroponte knew about these human rights violations and yet continued to collaborate with the Honduran military while lying to Congress.

Wow. Killing US Missionaries! He's the man I want to oversee the FBI and CIA! Forget about them pesky terror-ists. We got us dangerous missionaries to look out for! (Yes, I do understand the time lapse, but its an interesting corollary.
