THE CITIZEN AS REPORTER - AT 7:48 A.M. ET:  We're seeing more citizen journalism, and some of it turns out to be very good.  Reader Hunter Schultz alerts us to an excellent report from Honduras.  Indeed, while I cannot personally vouch for every statement, the overall attention to detail and narrative in this report are of the highest professional calibre.  One gem:

The Supreme Court voted to remove Zelaya. The Congress decided to remove Zelaya. The Attorney General stated many times that Zelaya was committing illegal acts and in fact committing treason. The military determined that the poll was illegal and that their responsibility was to uphold the constitution as opposed to supporting the president.

Early Sunday morning, about 6am, the military went to the president’s house and removed him from the building. He was put on a plane to Costa Rica. This was done to enforce the ruling from the Supreme Court.

Will someone inform President Obama?  A short note will do.

Here's another quote.  The writer is referring to a referendum, declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, that President Mel Zelaya tried to hold anyway:

It’s been said all over the press that Mel was arrested in his pajamas. I personally don’t believe that. In an hour he would have been at some polling place to vote and also to motivate those that showed up. This was the biggest day of his life. I’d be amazed if he slept at all – I know I wouldn’t be able to. There was one report that Mel was actually in suit pants and a crisply ironed white shirt when he was arrested and he asked to change into other clothes. Quite frankly, I see this as more likely.

See what I mean by attention to detail?

If there's one piece you read today, read this one.
