I'm not trying to whitewash anything. I'm saying I don't consider it a coup because it wasn't planned as such. I can plan a move like that with my friends and it wouldn't be a coup.

With a dozen officers they wouldn't have been able to get inside, which is something that blows my mind. Thank god suicide bombers didn't know how easy was to get inside.
