It’s disgusting that not even the Washington Times mentions that the Supreme Court ordered the “coup” — actually, a restoration of democracy.

And it’s depressing that the Honduras military doesn’t put out a statement to that effect, a repeated statement, that forces the world’s commie press to at least report that they said it.

Honduras Defends Its Democracy

In a speech, Micheletti [VP who is now prez] said that he had not assumed power "under the ignominy of a coup d'etat". ...The army had complied with the constitution, he said, and he had reached the presidency "as the result of an absolutely legal transition process". ...Congress said he would serve until 27 January, when Mr Zelaya's term was due to expire. Presidential elections are planned for 29 November and Mr Micheletti promised these would go ahead.

It was perfectly legitimate, but I have a bad feeling about this. I think Bambi and Chavez are going to force Honduras to take their would-be dictator back.

Yes, very interesting how “coup” is now applied to “removal of those top officials who gratuitously violate the constitution”. Ya’d think “coup” would apply to the ones deviating from rule of established foundational law, not those restoring it.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a deliberate commandeering of words to stiffle something similar happening here.
