Pakistan coup?

[Bikewer]

CNN has been speculating about a possible coup in Pakistan after an article about one of the defense ministers being prohibited from leaving the country:

Pakistan is denying this, claiming the minister was being detained for a "corruption" investigation...

Pretty thin beer so far; it's not like Pakistan is unfamiliar with the coup, and everyone is shaky about the possibility that radicals will take over or the government become unstable...

Not much to go on at this point.

I wouldn't call it a "coup" any more than the impeachment of a president would be a "coup."

It means that even high government officials are not above the law.

Plenty of stories about this on Google News
