Showdown Looms in Honduras: Rival Vows to Arrest Ousted President on His Return

Why the hell is the media calling what happened in Honduras a “military-led coup”?  The president was breaking the law.  His own Attorney General said so.  The Congress said so.  So did the Supreme Court.  Someone had to force him out, and it would seem that only the military had the actual ability to do so.

I don’t get it.

Been wondering exactly the same thing!

Or would it be a coup for the ‘right’ reason? Don’t know enough about internal Honduran politics to really say if the President or the Congress/Courts were on the side of the people and reform… but either way, they have a constitutional system that all parties agreed to. No one is asking this fundamental question.

    Or maybe because the liberal media, you know, understands language. Gah, a quote from Wikipedia since I can’t get Tumblr...
