UPDATE 12:30pm

Foreign Minister of Honduras Patricia Rodas has been taken from her home by soldiers, beaten and imprisoned. Serious human rights violations are occurring in Honduras and President Obama has so far only said he is "concerned". Another showing of a US double standard? Since Zelaya is a "leftist" president, will the Obama administration refuse to condemn the coup against him?

Chávez announces that President Bachelet of Chile has also condemned the coup in Honduras and is emitting a formal declaration.
