Coup Underway in Turkey

[Lauren Johnson]

Have just woken up to see this. Still finding the lay of the land. Might check out Sibel Edmonds and see what she has to say.

It strikes me as a coup that breaks all the rules -- they haven't seized govt buildings, the communications, the leaders of the government with Erdogen calling out his supporters, no paratroopers dropped into the city center, etc. It strikes me as spectacle. Erdogen will use to to his advantage.
