UPDATES: What's Going On in Turkey?

The military has staged a coup attempt against the government, but President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says the plotters will pay the highest “price.”

Guess it's possible that the Gulen crowd isn't behind this very professionally run coup attempt.

There is a very strong secularist base in Turkey and the army has always seen it's role as a protector of Ataturk's secularist position,
so in light of suggests Erdogan was tending toward having more Islam influence in the mix it's possible it could just be an army coup.

Yep, better to wait and see as one thing we learned from the Dallas is that early reporting was not very accurate at all.
