Honduras' Manuel Zelaya sneaks back into the country

I guess third time is the charm because on Monday, Honduras' ex-president, Manuel Zelaya, managed to sneak back into the country. This was his third attempt, but he is being very vague on how he succeeded in getting back into Honduras. He took refuge in the Brazilian Embassy and is saying that he is open to a fair trial. Zelaya was overthrown in a coup on June 28, due to what some are calling "power-grabbing." The United States was also skeptical of the former president, but was even more upset with the coup, and even cut off funding. However, this is sure to cause some uproars in Honduras.
