U.S. Critical of Zelaya, Honduran Government
Ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya (above) shouldn't have returned to his home turf before striking some kind of agreement with the regime that seized power during last summer's coup, according to Lewis Amselem, U.S. ambassador to the Organization of American States -- but Amselem also fired off some words of official disapproval about said regime while he was at it.

At an emergency meeting of the Organization of American States to discuss the Honduran face-off, Lewis Amselem, the U.S. ambassador to the OAS, also criticized Honduras’ de facto government for its “deplorable” action in barring entry of an OAS mission and declaring a state of siege on Sunday.
Amselem also criticized Zelaya for fueling violence by slipping back into Honduras last week and holing up in the Brazilian Embassy, from where he has called on his supporters to take to the streets.
“The return of Zelaya absent an agreement is irresponsible and foolish … He should cease and desist from making wild allegations and from acting as though he were starring in an old movie,” Amselem said.
With an uncertain future and a new administration casting doubt on press freedoms, the danger is clear: The truth is at risk.
