Honduras analysis

Anthony Tsontakis writes at There is Knowledge and emails to point me to his analysis of why the ouster of former Honduras President Mel Zelaya was not a coup, concluding correctly,

It is difficult to comprehend the concurrent positions of the global media, the United States, the OAS, the EU, and the UN--that an illegal coup has taken place in Honduras. In remarks addressing the situation in Honduras, for instance, Secretary of State Clinton unequivocally stressed the importance of “support[ing] and defend[ing] democracy and constitutional order in our hemisphere,” yet came out in support of Zelaya--whose unlawful behavior was aimed at undermining a democratic constitutional order--and against the judicial and legislative branches of the Honduran government--whose conduct was aimed at preserving a democratic constitutional order.

Indeed.
