Well, more evidence comes in-- a coup against the coup.

Please go to website for map, etc.

1. thanks
Looks like I'll be glued to the internet for updates again tonight. Is Telesur completely out of Honduras now?

4. As far as I know, Telesur TV is not in Honduras. But, I'm hoping they
equip a few protesters with small, but decent cameras to use.

5. I Was Watching TELESUR and Noticed that Reed Lindsay is reporting for them . . .
Reed is a freelance journalist from the US and has spent much of the last five years in Haiti covering the coup and its aftermath. He's a correspondent from time to time for Telesur and speaks Spanish fluently. Now, I don't know how "out" he is being about reporting for Telesur. Reed is a good pick for this job because he's from the US and less likely to raise the ire of authorities.

6. Thanks for the inside baseball!
I hope he's safe enough. I'd give anything to be there right now. :)

7. Me, too!! BTW, Reed is tall, slim with brown hair and, yes, looks
like an American. So if you see such a creature on Telesur, turn up the volume, he'll be reporting from Honduras.

2. Honduras protesters call for president's return
Honduras protesters call for president's return
17 July 2009 | 00:03 | FOCUS News Agency

Tegucigalpa. Protesters calling for the return of ousted President Manuel Zelaya blocked roads around the Honduran capital Thursday, deepening a three-week leadership crisis in this Central American state, AFP reported.

The demonstration involving thousands was set to continue until representatives of Zelaya and the de facto government that has taken charge meet in Costa Rica for further talks on a way out of the impasse.

A first round of those discussions, mediated by Costa Rican President Oscar Arias and held last week, failed to provide any breakthrough.
Both Zelaya and interim president Roberto Micheletti claim to be the legitimate leader of Honduras.
But while Zelaya has been blocked from returning to the country, from which he was deported on June 28 by the army, Micheletti has had a difficult time trying to impose his will.

3. Let's hope they won't follow the Alan Garcia model and shoot down at protesters from helicopters.
The fascists should be aware the entire world is watching since well before today.

Thank you for this great blast of information. It's appreciated.
