So much for "spreading democracy." Washington is apparently trying to stop the election of leftist Nicaraguan party leader and presidential candidate Daniel Ortega.
"Tomas Borge, the former interior minister who is currently No. 2 in the Sandinista Party, said the United States is using a complaint about surface-to-air missiles left over from the war to try to derail a bid by Ortega to retake the presidency in elections next year.
"'The United States is trying once again to meddle in Nicaragua's internal affairs, because they are desperate and scared by a certain Sandinista victory in the upcoming elections,' Borge, the party's vice-secretary, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview."
