A little more to the US "arm-twisting" rumors.....

La Vanguardia, a spanish news agency, is reporting this....

Zelaya, caught in the Brazilian rat trap, had few options. Diplomats from Tegucigalpa commented to La Vanguardia that Zelaya, of course, knew very well that he was signing a document that was rather unfavorable to him as it left his possible return as president in the hands of the very same Congress that removed him, without setting any time limit despite the closeness of the elections. According to these sources, the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Latin America, Thomas Shannon, pressured Zelaya to sign under the threat that if he did not, his son, Hector, who is presently in the U.S., would be prosecuted for drug trafficking.

I will be very surprised if Zelaya is still in Honduras a week from now. I could see a scenario where they allow him to leave the country for good to avoid prosecution, but I don't think he will ever be reinstated.
