Quite possible. According to one report, his office had a huge pile of cash, lists of enemies to be "detained", and other paperwork that suggested he was going to seize dictatorial power.
It is certainly likely that he had collaborators in the military to aid him, and some of them might have followed his orders to let him escape rather than bring him before the courts.
That Chavez is enraged makes perfect sense; he was apparently collaborating with the illegal revolutionary scheme (he was even supplying the ballots and ballot boxes for the illegal "referendum"). What is strange, however, is the response of the US State department and Obama. It seems unthinkable, but their actions suggest they knew about the illegal revolution and were collaborating with Zelaya.
That is clearly a high crime.
I agree, it is a high crime, but I wonder if zero and hill were caught completely off guard, and assumed any unrest was an evil western coup-d’etat and attempted to distance themselves from the headlines; now they are trying to save face so they can go get some more ice cream.
It is not completely ironic that in 2007 Zelaya sought to outlaw all news reports of violent crime and his courts squashed it; a month later he used executive priveledge and a twisted interpretation of his powers to require broadcasting of his propaganda by all news outlets, shades of ABC...
I just hope that any order requiring our troops to support that dictator wannabe are challenged as unlawful, because I would hate to see true freedom loving hondurans pitted against americans. There is no reason for it and Reagan is undoubtedly spinning in his grave.
(That is clearly a high crime.)
Very good!!
What did Obama know and when did he know it????
Zalaya loves Obama and the feeling appears mutual.
Check out the pic of Zelaya holding up a poster of Obama and smiling here(it is too big to post):
