I think AK hit the nail on the head with his assessment.
Glenn Garvin at the Miami Herald wrote a good article about the events leading up to the “coup” (which appears to be the Honduran Army responding to orders from the Honduran Supreme Court acting within the guidelines of their constitution, which Zelaya was trying to hijack) and also the varying responses from the US, the OAS and, best of all, Hugo Chavez, who is now openly threatening to depose Zelaya’s interim replacement.
I don’t know if Hillary Clinton didn’t receive a complete briefing from her NSC folks, but she is about as far off the beam as possible on this one.
Zelaya is clearly in the wrong here. I’m not sure about sending him to Costa Rica (versus, say, house arrest while the Honduran Supreme Court sorts this out), but at least they didn’t shoot him and throw him in a ditch. Oh, wait, that’s Guatemala.
