From what I've been able to figure out, Zelaya is in Costa Rica, and he's tossing out that the US had to have initiated/supported the coup, because otherwise they wouldn't have been able to overthrow him. *shrugs* It wouldn't be outside of our history to have stuck our noses in (I don't know what terms the US is on with Honduras offhand), but there is no proof that we had -anything- to do with this one that -I-'ve been able to find. We've gotten involved before. However, right now all the evidence points to an internal military coup from a faction that didn't like the constitutional increase in allowed terms of presidency that just went off. To add to DS's comment above, FDD also appeared to make the implication that this intervention was a -good- thing... I will reiterate, in the event that it turns out that we -were- involved in this, that if we -did- stick our noses into this one, I think there are a lot of other things we could have been doing with our time, money, and resources.
