Mel's in Honduras (and other fun)


According to this report, President Mel Zelaya has made it into Honduras and has set up a secret location operations base inside the country. The source is a reporter with close links to Zelaya, one Sergio Miranda.

Meanwhile, Honduras Coup 2009 accuses the New York Times of being crap at Spanish...doesn't surprise me, but this time the newspaper's generalized LatAm mediocrity has led to a pretty serious case of Lost in Translation.

And if you're good at the Spanish lingo thing, check out this very complete note explaining why what happened was undoubtedly a full-on coup d'etat no matter what them thar wingnuts and fruitbars might tell you.
