Where is the Washington Post on Honduras?

Ok, I get that they're shifting. New foreign editor Doug Jehl has said that they are going to use their limited foreign bureau resources to do more enterprise reporting, and that means less day-to-day coverage -- leaving some of that stuff to the wires. And that may be the right thing to do.

But still, I open the paper today and all there is on Honduras is a tiny wire story. Nevermind that the de facto government shut down opposition media and essentially criminalized public free speech (later Monday, the coup government said it was revoking some of those moves; we'll see what that means). This all seems like, you know, important news.

The Post has been giving Honduras little attention for weeks now. Mary Beth Sheridan has covered some of the developments from Washington (including a short article two days after Zelaya returned), but the Post hasn't had reporting from in country since July, if I'm not mistaken. William Booth, who covers the entire region based out of Mexico City, even took a reporting trip to Cuba this month.

If Chavez did anything nearly like what Michelleti has done, I think, somehow, they'd find a way to be there and cover it.
