rumors of a coup continue but for now nothing has developed -- two junior officers were on television talking about calling on the rank and file soldiers to join the mobilizations and take over the government -- it is unclear if this would be a progressive or deceptive move but the junior officers involved have been relieved of duty by their commanders -- the uprising in bolivia right now is complex and widespread and how it unfolds over the coming week will determine the future of the region for decades to come -- the mas political party is only one part of the huge mobilization happening right now -- there is excellent reporting on www.bolivia.indymedia.org from the social movements themselves -- also great reporting for those less informed about the background and with less spanish language skills on www.narconews.com -- if you know anyone near the region they need international observers -- i have contacts with indymedia bolivia if you are going there or desire interviews or more information
