Negroponte background

John Negroponte, Bush's pick for the newly-created National Intelligence Director position, played a key role in the Iran-Contra affair as Ambassador to Honduras during the early 1980s. He was also accused of human rights violations by the Honduras Commission on Human Rights. Nothing proven, but "there is a large body of circumstantial evidence supporting the view that Negroponte was aware that serious violations of human rights were carried out by the Honduran government with the support of the CIA." (Wikipedia) Just thought you should know.
