TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARBBC:
Ousted President Manuel Zelaya has left the US on a flight bound for Honduras, in a bid to reclaim his post.
Mr Zelaya, who was removed from office by troops a week ago, says he is determined to return to his country.
But the interim government says it will not allow Mr Zelaya’s plane to land. There are growing fears of violence in the Central American nation.

When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
