TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) -- Soldiers seized the national palace and sent President Manuel Zelaya into exile in Costa Rica early Sunday, hours before a highly disputed constitutional referendum. Zelaya called the action a coup and pledged to serve out the remaining five months of his term. Zelaya, a leftist allied with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, was arrested shortly before polls were to open in a referendum on whether to change the constitution. The Supreme Court ruled the referendum illegal and everyone from Congress to members of his own party opposed it. Critics said Zelaya wanted to remove limits to his re-election. It was not immediately clear who was running the government. Tanks rolled through the streets and hundreds of soldiers with riot shields surrounded the presidential palace in the capital, Tegucigalpa. The constitution mandates that the head of Congress is next in line to the presidency, followed by the chief justice of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court said it supported the military action, which it said was aimed at defending the constitution. |

One of the pleasures of life is making a RWE puke. With all of the truth coming out and a return to justice and honor we are going to se a lot of bulimic right wing extremist running around. Truth is to a RWE what light is to a vampire. A RWE can not long stand before truth and justice and a vampire cant stand in the light. |

I concur but he's running scared, if he approves of it, then he'll be blamed for it....so what!!!! Who gives a damn what other countries think. He needs to grow a pair and make a stand and stay standing erect. |

I'd say the jury is still out on the score along with the good/bad labels. |

He was calling a plebiscite to see if the people wanted to set up a constituent assembly to change their constitution. This would make, what, the 15th constitution they've had - and in many of them 'the people' had no involvement. Can't have the people calling the shots, that's just too democratic. |
