despite Ortega's shift to the right, there was a report on US
National Public Radio that he was being lambasted by his opponents
as being the same as Osama bin Laden. They publicly interpreted
his political shift as simply a ruse. Also, people -- including
an American, who had some kind of official connection that I
didn't get -- were quoted as saying that if Ortega became President,
US aid would be cut off and maybe the civil war would re-start.
Ironically, it probably doesn't "pay" to change your politics
in this way...
