Think Merkel or Karzai were attacked in the cables? Cable calls Daniel Ortega a rapist and murderer [View All]

[ck4829]

"German leader Merkel is cautious."

"Afghan leader Karzai is paranoid."

"Iranian leader Ahmadinejad is Hitler."

"Nicaraguan leader Ortega is a rapist and a murderer."

Basically the embassy in Managua took every single accusation ever said against him and said that he either personally did it or commanded it directly.

Including this one...

"After the signing of the 1988-1989 peace accords and
the holding of free elections in 1990, the fighters of the
armed resistance ("Contras") to the FSLN regime disarmed as
the peace accords required. However, the FSLN leadership saw
this as an opportunity for revenge, and had its assassins
kill hundreds of Contras, including ordering the murder of
ex-Contra commander Enrique Bermudez in the parking lot of
the intercontinental hotel (today's Hotel Crowne Plaza) in
¶1990."

In reality, nobody knows who did the assassination, the embassy cable even halfheartedly admits this, and his family says that anyone could have had something to do with his assassination; the Sandinistas, one of his fellow Contras, or maybe even the same Iran-Contra network in the US that wanted to cover up the fact that what it did was treason.
