Showdown Looms in Honduras: Rival Vows to Arrest Ousted President on His Return

Why the hell is the media calling what happened in Honduras a “military-led coup”?  The president was breaking the law.  His own Attorney General said so.  The Congress said so.  So did the Supreme Court.  Someone had to force him out, and it would seem that only the military had the actual ability to do so.

I don’t get it.

i was also shocked to see bbc reporting it as a regular military coup.
