Surely I'm not the only one troubled by Kerry's initial statement, in particular the lack of even a token mention of how democracy and the constitutional order of a country such as this should be respected?

I wouldn't be too shocked if the US had a hand in this. Wouldn't be the first time.

Given the scale I am sure the CIA and/or US military should have pre-knowledge of this.

I usually have no problems with military coups (they are often better than the alternative) but in this fight I am for Erdogan

No one else seems to be saying this, so I will. This coup is a terrible idea. It will end horribly. Whether or not Obama had any role in planning this, it will end poorly for America.

This is double or nothing for  Erdogan.  It will be just like Chavez in 2002.  If he beats this he will be stronger than ever.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, speaking to CNN-Turk through FaceTime, called the actions by the military "an attempt at an uprising by a minority within our armed forces."

Turkish Interior Minister Efkan Ala says very effective units from the chief of general staff's office, the Turkish armed forces and the police are responding to the attempted coup in the country.
Ala says they are responding to "gangs who have taken cover in certain locations."
He spoke by telephone to NTV television and also encouraged Turkish citizens to "fearlessly go out and support our security forces."
He says: "We think it would be right for them to go out to the airports, to the streets, especially to the main arteries. As long as they do that this gang's attempts... they will be defeated no matter what."
He added "this is a gang that considers nothing sacred, not the people or the nation. They're taking certain actions."

Turkey's Istanbul-based first army commander says the soldiers involved in an attempted coup "represent a small group" and "there is no cause for concern," according to the state-run Anadolu Agency.

The fact that Erdogan has not been arrested by now by the coup leaders usually means that it is likely to fail.
