Clinton Embraces Endorsement of John Negroponte
-----------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton has embraced her recent endorsement by John
Negroponte, the former director of national intelligence. The President
George W. Bush official also served as U.S. ambassador to Honduras,
which was the staging ground for the U.S.-backed Contras in Nicaragua.
Hillary Clinton has faced questions on the campaign trail about her own
role in Honduras as secretary of state, including legitimizing the 2009
coup in Honduras.
