The deal includes:

A national plebiscite on reforming fundamental laws. Respect for human rights and the investigation of possible violations. A guarantee that Zelaya supporters can participate in Honduras's political life and in 2014 elections as a political party.

Critics of the former president had claimed Zelaya wanted to hijack the democratic process to enable his re-election, which is prohibited by the constitution. Zelaya has denied that.

Critics ... claimed Zelaya wanted to hijack the democratic process to enable his re-election, which is prohibited by the constitution. Zelaya has denied that.

And in other news, the thief denies he stole, the robber denies he robbed, and the murderer denies he killed.

Zelaya was removed from office in June 2009 by the military for ignoring a Supreme Court order to cancel by the Supreme Court, whose order was executed by the military, because he violated the constitution by proposing a referendum, which asked citizens if they favoured changing the constitution to allow for the re-election of the president. The constitution itself states that the ban on presidential re-election cannot be amended.

Fixed it.

and this........1.21.11

Obama Admin Lobbying Honduras To Allow Zelaya Back In? Are You Kidding?

What could possibly be the motive behind this lunacy?

On the last day of December last year, Manuel “Mel” Zelaya, the deposed Honduran president and self-described victim of high-frequency radiation attacks by Israeli mercenaries, vowed to the press that he would return to Honduras. Few outside of Honduras have paid much attention to Zelaya’s MacArthur-esque prediction, but it has become apparent there is more behind his declaration than his usual hyperbole and bombastic absurdities.

Behind the scenes in the Obama administration there appears to be a concerted effort to pressure the democratically elected government of President Porfirio Lobo to dismiss charges of misappropriation of government funds and falsifying documents that are pending against Zelaya. This would open the door for his return to the country, and would be certain to undermine the delicate process of reestablishing democracy and order that is currently taking place in this poor and beleaguered nation.

When Zelaya was removed from office in July of 2009, the Obama administration at first joined with leftist dictators Fidel Castro of Cuba, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, and Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua in calling for his reinstatement. The Obama White House seemed oblivious to the Honduran constitution, as well as the threat Zelaya posed to the stability of the country and the region. When the courageous Honduran people held firm to their democratic constitution and refused to yield to the pressure exerted by the U.S., the Obama administration found no way of saving face other than reversing course and backing the democratic presidential elections called for by their constitution.

The Honduran legislature, by a huge majority, disagreed with that. The Honduran supreme court unanimously (IIRC) disagreed with that. Zelaya's actions absolutely disagree with that.

Zelaya is a liar and a traitor to Honduras and 0baMao, Hillary Clinton and the U.S. State Dept. back this lying POS in direct opposition to the rule of law in a representative republic.

Here's one for you and the ping list.

ATFs Tampa SAC Walking Guns to Honduras

May be unrelated to "Fast & Furious".

Who were the guns going to? Zelaya's supporters?
