That’s different. Here’s a Honduran lawyer who says the old Latin American standby is a step forward. Octavio Sanchez lays out the constitutional case for the ouster of the president by the military in Honduras, with consent of several elected and appointed authorities, heralds a bright new day. Christian Science Monitor:

Tegucigalpa, Honduras - Sometimes, the whole world prefers a lie to the truth. The White House, the United Nations, the Organization of American States, and much of the media have condemned the ouster of Honduran President Manuel Zelaya this past weekend as a coup d’état.

That is nonsense.

In fact, what happened here is nothing short of the triumph of the rule of law.
