Ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya says the Honduran people "have the right to insurrection" against the interim government that forced him out of the country.
Zelaya says that Honduran citizens also have the right to demonstrate and to stage strikes against the government of de facto President Roberto Micheletti, who has threatened to jail Zelaya if he tries to return.
Zelaya said at a joint news conference with Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom on Tuesday that "nobody owes allegiance to a usurper government."
Zelaya said "insurrection is a legitimate process."
Zelaya was toppled by a military-backed coup June 28. He is recognized by virtually all foreign governments.

You know, I haven’t really noticed any of Zel’s thugs demonstrating on his behalf lately. Only thing I’ve seen is the Honduran people’s freedoms being given back to them.
“Zelaya was toppled by a military-backed coup June 28. He is recognized by virtually all foreign governments. “
Bare faced lie.
“Given that the interim government consists of the same legislature, same supreme court, and same constitution as existed before Zelaya was removed, what exactly is interim about this government? Maybe the AP writer could explain.”
Simple. The AP writer is a leftist POS.
“Except all the other marxists in this hemisphere like Chavez, Noriega, Castro...and Obama. “
Obama should be listed first ;-)
I agree wholeheartedly, however, the Hondurans already exercised this right comprade.
AK-47’s are on the way, made in Venezuela.
P.S. Along with volunteers and advisers.
