EL SALVADOR: Obama hits a raw nerve
US President Barack Obama clearly touched a nerve. One of the most
pertinent remarks Obama made during his visit to San Salvador last week was, to
paraphrase, that institutional corruption could not be allowed to impede
development in El Salvador. Days later the country's attorney general, Romeo
Barahona, came out strongly against the creation in El Salvador of an entity
along the lines of the UN-backed International Commission against Impunity
(Cicig) in Guatemala to investigate institutional corruption and impunity.
