[Richard Menec]

Venezuelan-American attorney, writer and investigator Eva Golinger is 
posting frequent and detailed updates on the coup in Honduras on her blog 
"Postcards from the Revolution" at http://www.chavezcode.com/ Including this 
at 2:55pm EDT:

"Minister of the Presidency in Honduras, Enrique FLores Lanza, is live on 
"Once Noticias" Channel 11 news in Honduras affirming that hundreds of 
thousands of Hondurans are taking to the streets to demand the return of 
President Zelaya. He has confirmed that President Zelaya HAS NOT RESIGNED 
and the letter presented by the Congress is a FAKE."

COUP GOVERNMENT IN PLACE IN HONDURAS

It's official, illegal, but official. Roberto Micheletti, up until right now 
the head of Congress, has just been sworn in as de facto president after 
violently ousting President Zelaya from power, kidnapping him and forcing 
him into exile in Costa Rica. Micheletti just gave a speech before Congress, 
broadcast live via CNN en Español and Telesur, along with Honduran stations, 
was enraged with power, often yelling and declaring his "utmost respect for 
democracy and the constitution" (?!) He also discussed how his "cabinet" 
which he is about to announce, will "restore democracy" and "respect for the 
constitution" to the country. He repeated over and over again that what took 
place was not a military-civil coup but rather a "civil society" action to 
"ensure democracy".

Still no word about kidnapped and beaten Foreign Minister Patricia Rodas' 
whereabouts. The Congress also did not explain President Zelaya's beating 
and kidnapping and forced exile or the forged resignation letter, which they 
now obviously are no longer using as a legitimate "justification" for the 
coup. It's just too bogus.

BTW, The US Military Group in Honduras trains around 300 Honduran soldiers 
every year, provides more than $500,000 annually to the Honduran Armed 
Forces and additionally provides $1.4 million for a military education and 
exchange program for around 300 more Honduran soldiers every year.
