The stories I am seeing about Honduras call the removal of their President by the Army a coup.
But as I read more stories, I keep seeing:
"The country's Supreme Court last week came out against Zelaya and ordered him to reinstate fired military chief Vasquez. The court said on Sunday it had told the army to remove the president."
"Zelaya, a leftist allied with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, was arrested shortly before polls were to open in a referendum on whether to change the constitution. The Supreme Court ruled the referendum illegal and everyone from Congress to members of his own party opposed it. Critics said Zelaya wanted to remove limits to his re-election."
If the Army is asked by the Judiciary to remove the President for violating the Consitution, and Congress also backs the Court and the Army, is it a "coup" or is it the Army acting as the police?
I'm glad I'm not in the Honduran Army right now, that I am sure of.
UPDATE: See what I mean?
