I'm not sure this is the standard military coup though, based on what I read this morning.

I mean, you've got the military, the supreme court, the congress, and the guy's own party pretty much in agreement that he overstepped his bounds so far that he had to be removed from office. That seems more than a bit more of a consensus that I associate with typical third world coups.

They may be a bit spotty on the letter of their own law about what they did with him once he was removed, but in & of itself I really don't see this in the same light as, say, the 70's coups at all.
