Breaking news: An attempted coup d’etat (they are calling it an uprising) is underway in Turkey. The military is attempting to oust President Tayyip Erdogan, but the US State Department says it will back Erdogan because he is the democratically elected leader, despite his failure to uphold democratic values, such as his recent crackdown on critics and journalists. [The bottom line is that Tayyip is a proven asset of the US government and likely will be supported for that reason alone.] CBS 2016 Jul 15
