Financial Times:

The armed forces of Honduras showed the first sign of compromise following its recent coup by issuing a statement indicating that they would accept the return of Manuel Zelaya, the ousted president.

As Mr Zelaya remained camped on the Nicaraguan side of the border with Honduras, the army announced that it would accept negotiations "within the framework of the San José Accord".

No doubt they are encouraged by Burma's ability to detain their democratically elected President indefinately. These Dictatorships are all alike.

Hillary and Lanny Davis showed their true colors when they supported the right wing coup leaders. These two are the most morally corrupt in the party right now of any stature.

Actually it's quite a story, Ira. It indicates that ultra-right, pro-coup d'etat sycophants are having a difficult time indeed. Zelaya, whether you personally agree with his policies or not, is still the democratically elected president of Honduras. The Organization of American States, the United Nations, and every sovereign nation on the face of the planet agrees with this FACT.

Quite a story, no ??

No--because he was democratically removed from office and is still sitting around a fire in Nicaragua singing campfire songs.
