Pentecostal minister, General, President and Dictator of Guatemela Efrain Rios Montt is ordered to appear in court on charges of genocide. I wonder what his US supporters, Pat Robertson and Loren Cunningham, are going to say about these developments.

As long as it doesn't interfere with their fundraising, nothing.

It's going to be an interesting story. Lots of twists and turns, his brother is in charge of the investigation against him and the military last I heard. I have no doubt the holy spirit will move old Pat to support him. They were just indians, after all.

Yes, the sibling relationship here is very interesting. His brother is a catholic bishop as I recall. Montt converted from Catholicism to Pentecostalism and then used Pentecostalism as the religious adjunct to his policies of genocide. The underlying religious tensions are intriguing. Notice that the NYT piece leaves all that out.

Turkey is pissed. Reminds me of an Armenian movie I saw called Vodka Lemon.
