PARAGUAY: Amidst Golpe Rumors, Lugo Replaces ALL Top Military Leaders.

NYTIMES/
Paraguay's President Fernando Lugo squashed rumors about a possible coup by replacing all top military commanders. The announcement came from the armed forces themselves, not the president’s office. "We are a friendly, participative government, willing to analyze the criticisms we receive, but don't confuse that for a moment with a showing of weakness," Lugo said, adding that nothing would remove him from the presidential palace until the end of his term in 2013.
