Honduran Crisis

I've been following the Honduran fiasco somewhat closely since I have two really good friends who I played college baseball with who were born and raised there. I have not been able to get a clear sense from any media reports what is actually happening. The only thing I really saw was a lot of sympathy for deposed leader Zelaya, which in my cynical mind meant he was the villian. So I contacted one of buddies and he told me this:

ps. I'll give you some insight on the Honduran situation, but a quick summary: there was no military coup, the former president thought he was above the law (constitution), we were days if not hours away of having a dictator. 85% if not more of the Hondurans are happy that Zelaya was taken out.
Then he sent me this clip. Looks like CNN atleast finally got it right.
