#1 Just posted on the WaPo website: the airplane carrying ousted president Manuel Zelaya was forced to circle the nation's main airport [in Tegucigalpa] twice before flying away Sunday evening after coup leaders who deposed Zelaya blocked his landing with troops on the runway. Zelaya later landed in Managua.
An unnamed US official was quoted in the article: "we respect the right of President Zelaya as a Honduran citizen, and the legal and constitutional leader of Honduras, to make his own decisions." The comments on this article are all over the map, as might be expected.

#2 Nice opinion piece in CS Monitor: A 'coup' in Honduras? Nonsense.
Don't believe the myth. The arrest of President Zelaya represents the triumph of the rule of law.
