So in between accounts of Michael Jackson's death, I noticed that there has been a change in the government in Honduras. The mainstream media, Obama, and Chavez are describing it as a coup. Perhaps I'm missing something, but it really doesn't seem like a military coup. As I understand it, the military arrested the old president at the behest of the Supreme Court. There is still civilian control, there are still plans to have elections next year, so where's the coup?
