But Juan González asked why she resisted cutting off aid to the coup regime and instead brokered a deal for new elections. Clinton controversially doubled down on defending the coup, outrageously suggesting that the oligarchs and generals who had forced President Manuel Zelaya out had a legal justification. Worse, she suggested that Honduras emulate Plan Colombia: the U.S.-funded war on drugs and guerrillas that sparked the biggest internal refugee crisis in the world outside of Syria, involved the deliberate killing of thousands of innocent civilians by Colombian armed forces, and fostered death squads now poised to stick around even as the country nears an end to its civil war. In the subsequent days [after the coup] I spoke with my counterparts around the hemisphere, including Secretary Espinosa in Mexico. We strategized on a plan to restore order in Honduras and ensure that free and fair elections could be held quickly and legitimately, which would render the question of Zelaya moot and give the Honduran people a chance to choose their own future.
When Zelaya attempted to return to Honduras from exile, via the Nicaragua border on July 24, Clinton condemned it
as “reckless” and counterproductive “to the broader effort to restore
democratic and constitutional order.” And whereas the U.S. was quick to
suspend aid following Madagascar’s March 17, 2009 coup, it would take
months before the State Department would act in a similar fashion with
Honduras. Notably, the U.S. suspended Millennium Challenge Corporation
(MCC) money three days after Madagascar’s coup, but declined to hold up
the more than $190 million of MCC funds designated for Honduras. As
secretary of state, Clinton chaired the MCC board of directors at the
time. The split between the U.S. and its neighbors widened when, on
September 28, 2009, U.S. State Department officials blocked the OAS
from adopting a resolution on Honduras that would have refused to
recognize Honduran elections without the prior restoration of the
country’s elected president. While Latin America — seeing the inherent
danger from the precedent of a successful military coup — demanded
Zelaya’s “immediate and unconditional” restoration, the U.S. pushed
instead for a “national unity government.” In Clinton’s telling, this
was something she triumphantly pressured regime head Roberto Micheletti into accepting. The question is why this was the goal, instead of the restoration of democracy. Seen from another angle, Clinton’s State Department collaborated with an illegal government that had seized power through force. When Shannon made the administration’s true intentions public on...
