letter Is that 1t seems TO evidence an

unique situation OF one government
holding the chief executive OF another
practically as a common malefactor.
Zelaya is branded as a yiolatGr of
solemn International conventions. a
disturber OF the national and inter
national peace, a tyrant whose adj
ministration has been a blot on the
rune OF good government.
