I feared the worst and wondered if we'd accept the deal ending our sanctions if the Honduran legislature refuses to let Zelaya back into office.
Apparently, the answer is yes:
Zelaya sent the letter Wednesday, a day after assistant U.S. Secretary of State Thomas Shannon told CNN en Espanol that "the U.S. will recognize the outcome" of Honduras' Nov. 29 election even if Honduras' Congress does not restore Zelaya to power first.
Zelaya asks Clinton in his letter "to clarify to the Honduran people if the position condemning the coup d'etat has been changed or modified."
Good. The idea that Zelaya suffered from a coup has always been ridiculous.
The real coup leader--Zelaya--may get nothing after all.
