Coup Live Blog!


-Erdie on the phone to CNNTurk. Erdie, go ahead, you're live on the air. Or at least on the air.




2203 - Turkish justice minister says members of a movement loyal to U.S.-based cleric Fethullah Gulen in the army are behind the attempted coup. There has been no immediate comment from Gulen.-BBC. Tremendously HUGE *frowny face*.


-"Boss, the plane!" Reuters says Erdie's landing at Istanbul Inter-Islamist Airport. (Didn't they have a massacre there, recently? So many massacres, so little time.).

Maybe it's Clownstick One!

-We have a contested convention! Some army delegates are "voting their conscience" and saying the coupsters represent "a small fraction" of all delegates.

-Erdie's iPhone worked! Didn't have Verizon! Some convention delegates are lying down in front of tanks. Oh! Those crazyTurks! On all days!

-The Young Turks thwarted the army's takeover of a government building! Bill Kristol in the vanguard.

-This just in from Vox: "Turkey's coup: An expert tries to explain what the hell is going on."

-YOUNG TURKS ARREST CLOWNSTICK COUPSTERS!
