Anyone heard about Telesur TV folks in Honduras being detained?

I happened to get a brief look at the text version of some of Telesur TV stories and I saw a headline that said this. I'll try to verify.

1. that is what Eva Gollinger is reporting

Telesur, which has been the ONLY media outlet to provide non-stop coverage on the coup in Honduras since yesterday, has just been the victim of violent repression in Honduras. During the beginning of the meetings taking place this afternoon in Nicaragua with all heads of state from Latin America, Telesur abruptly interrupted coverage to broadcast the words and cries of Adriana Sivori, Telesur correspondent in Tegucigalpa, denouncing she was being detained, along with her cameraman, by military forces in Honduras under orders by the coup dictatorship. There is massive repression underway in Honduras right now. The Telesur team has been detained by armed forces and placed under arrest in clear violation of international law. Their identification documents have been confiscated by the military and they have been kidnapped.

3. AP's report in my local paper today says AP reporters were also arrested.

That may be why this particular AP report is the most even-handed I've ever seen from them. They described "thousands" of pro-Zelaya protesters in the capital, getting beaten up by the police, and they even qualified the "term limits" talking point ("some people are saying...").

What stupid coupsters!

This may be evidence that they are not being run by Leon Panetta, who is smarter than that (arresting AP reporters!), or any of the Obamaities, but are either a rogue coup, or are being run by Bushwhacks (independently, or as moles within the Obama administration or military), who have shown themselves to be stupid and inept (but arrogant and dangerous) clowns in the recent past (as when they were funding the white supremacists in Bolivia right out of the U.S. embassy, this last September). (I also have literally laughed out loud at their capers out of Miami, like the "suitcase full of money" thing, meant to slander Chavez. I feel sorry for the patsies they put in jail, but Gawd it was funny!)

Well, things are not funny in Honduras. Peoples' heads are getting bashed, and we have no idea yet who may have been 'disappeared.' But I'd say that a group dumb enough to arrest AP reporters won't likely last long.
