Jaime Morales was a wealthy Nicaraguan banker in the 1980s when Daniel Ortega stole his six-bedroom house. Ortega, who was then Nicaragua's President, called it a justified "confiscation" on behalf of the Marxist revolution that he and his Sandinista Front were leading. Morales became a leader of the U.S.-backed contra army that waged a civil war with the Sandinistas. That conflict killed 30,000 people and led to Ortega's ouster in a 1990 election--after which he paid Morales for the house...

That such U.S. pressure tends to work in favor of its opponents is a lesson Washington seems woefully unable...
Most preliminary counts show 60-year-old Daniel Ortega, who served as the Nicaraguan president from 1985 to 1990, as having already won 40 percent—the minimum a candidate needs to win an election in one round.
