Honduras

When is a coup not a coup? Is it Constitutional? The case is not nearly as clearcut as the general condemnation suggests. Set aside the claims that Zelaya is driving the country is terrible directions--was he in violation of this particular law? If so, the machinery set in motion was legal and not a coup. I don't know the details of the case well enough to judge it, and I trust I may be pardoned for not believing that most of the condemnatory voices know any more than I do.
