Showdown in Honduras Tomorrow Today? UPDATED
Ousted President Manuel Zelaya says he will return on Sunday and retake his office. The interim government has responded that they will arrest him and put him on trial.
Honduras rebuffed demands by the international community to reinstate Zelaya in the name of constitutional order, thrusting the poor Central American nation deeper into political crisis and isolation.
The Organization of American States met in Washington to consider suspending Honduras' membership because of the coup though even before the emergency session, the interim government decided to pull out of the OAS rather than meet its ultimatum to restore Zelaya.
What will Obama say about a trial in courts that consist of the very same judges who administered Honduran courts under Zelaya?
Something insightful I'm sure.
UPDATE: UN General Assembly President Miguel D'Escoto says he will accompany Zelaya to Honduras.
