There seem to be massive conflicts in the stories surfacing as to what has actually taken place. Obama's statements side with Hugo Chavez that Mr Zelaya's removal was illegal. However news reports clearly contradict their view stating that the removal was done within the the laws of the land to protect the Constitution.
At least one report said that Mr Zelaya had ordered the military to arrest the Supreme court as they resisted his efforts to maintain his power past the one term allowed under their Constitution that is in place to prevent a dictatorship from gaining and holding onto power.
Could it be that want to be Dictator in Chief fears that he could be removed from office when people wake to all the questionable take overs he's already orchestrated with GM, Chrysler, and control over the banking industry and the move currently under way to take over control of health care? And to top it off he's trying to destroy the economy further with Cap in Trade that will, if past kill any chance of economic recovery? Why else would he back a potentially seriously dangerous dictator in waiting and leftist and embrace the views of Hugo Chavez against the Supreme Court of a sovereign Country.

"Today's events originate from a court order by a competent judge.

TEGUCIGALPA, June 28 (Xinhua) -- Honduran Supreme Court said Sunday that it has authorized the removal from office of President Manuel Zelaya and the nation's armed force has acted in defense of the rule of law.
"Legal authorities formally declare that if the source of the action taken today is a judicial order issued by a competent judge, then their execution is within the framework of legal precepts," read broadcaster HRN from a statement issued by Danilo Izaguirre, a Supreme Court spokesman.
Such an order "must also oppose anything that may stand in the way of Honduras being returned to the rule of law," the statement said.
