A military coup has taken place in Honduras this
morning, led by School of the Americas graduate Romeo Vasquez. In the early hours of the
day, members of the Honduran military surrounded the presidential
palace and forced the democratically elected president, Manuel Zelaya,
into custody. He was immediately flown to Costa Rica. While the European Union and several Latin American governments just came out in support of President Zelaya and spoke out against the coup, a statement that was just issued by Barack Obama fell short of calling for the reinstatement of Zelaya as the legitimate president.
