MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) -- Former Marxist guerrilla Daniel Ortega celebrated his return to power in Nicaragua with two of Washington's biggest critics - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Bolivia's Evo Morales - who welcomed him as an ally in their campaign to curb U.S. influence in Latin America.
Chavez, speaking just hours after he was sworn in for another six years, said his "heart was overflowing with joy" to see Nicaragua once again in Ortega's hands, 17 years after voters threw the Sandanista leader out of office.
