Honduras' President-elect Porfirio Lobo has offered the country's ousted leader Manuel Zelaya safe passage to the Dominican Republic.

The deal was agreed by Mr Lobo and Dominican President Leonel Fernandez in Santo Domingo, officials say.

Under the agreement, Mr Zelaya would go to the Dominican Republic after Mr Lobo took office on 27 January.

Mr Zelaya was ousted and forced into exile in June. He later returned and took refuge in Brazil's embassy.

Good news we are returning to "democracy" bad news, we are returning to "democracy."

2. well, this should have about 100 recs
I'm sorry I've been working hours not recommended by OSHA to pay my health insurance.

You and I have dialoged about this as a sea change in US policy or same old same old with lipstick.

I'm afraid this indicates that it's the latter. Zalaya goes back to be sequestered then the
new president said he'll protect Zalaya on the way out. I'm sorry but that is total bull shit.

I'm never amazed at how low they stoop, their depths of cravenness are limitless.

"Other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?"

3. Look on the bright side, today the IMF did what I read in the tea leaves
they will pardon ALL of Haiti's debt and the WB is looking for a way.

When I saw who they were consulting, a Keynseian development expert I went... the Chicago Boys are loosing their luster at the IMF and WB...

That and bankssters about to be broken (even the threat sent the stock exchange down)...

Zelaya may not be it, but Haiti today was more significant...

by the way, goes without saying, the US Press stinks.
