'In the end, the celebrated "agreement" imposed by Washington only calls upon the Honduran Congress -- the same Congress that falsified Zelaya's resignation letter in order to justify the coup, and the same Congress that supported the illegal installation of Micheletti in the presidency -- to determine whether or not it wants to reinstate Zelaya as president. And only after receiving a legal opinion from the Honduran Supreme Court -- the same one that said Zelaya was a traitor for calling for a non-binding poll vote on potential future constitutional reform, and the same one that ordered his violent capture. Even if the Congress' answer is positive, Zelaya would not have any power. The "agreement" stipulates that the members of his cabinet will be imposed by those political parties involved in the coup, the armed forces will be under the control of the Supreme Court that supported the coup, and Zelaya could be tried for his alleged "crime" of "treason" because he wanted to have a non-binding poll on constitutional reform.'
