All of the questions you've wanted to ask, and more...
What's the real scoop behind this coup? --- Who pulled it off, and why? -- What is the U.S. government doing? Are they trying to get Zelaya back in power or not? --- How did timber baron Mel Zelaya become a champion for the poor? -- How have the social movements reacted to the coup? -- What does all of this mean for the progressive movements that have been sweeping Latin America?
