LIMA, Peru — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton pleaded Monday with Latin American countries to welcome Honduras back into their circle, a year after the country’s left-leaning president was ousted in a coup that has left a residue of bitterness throughout the region.
Addressing a meeting of the Organization of American States in Lima, Clinton noted that the United States had condemned President Manuel Zelaya’s ouster. But she said, “We saw the free and fair election of President (Porfirio) Lobo,” and she praised him for setting up a truth commission to investigate the coup.
