In an exclusive report on the return trip of ousted Honduran president, Manuel Zelaya, Democracy Now! interviews Father Roy Bourgeois of the group, School of the Americas Watch, about the role U.S.-trained generals played in the 2009 coup. "This military coup had real connections to the School of the Americas. The two top generals, the key players in this military coup—the head of the air force, the head of the army—were graduates of the School of the Americas," Bourgeois says. Bourgeois was invited to joined the party accompanying Zelaya back to Honduras on May 29. He said he made the trip "to express our support and solidarity with the people of Honduras, who really are living under intense repression."
