Turkey rounds up plot suspects after thwarting coup against Erdogan

So it looks like it is playing out as expected:

> Ten members of the High Council of Judges and Prosecutors and two members of the Constitutional Court have already been detained, officials said.

> Authorities also began a major crackdown in the judiciary over suspected links to U.S.-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, removing from their posts and ordering the detention of nearly 3,000 prosecutors and judges, including from top courts.

> The government declared the situation under control, saying 2,839 people had been rounded up, from foot soldiers to senior officers, including those who formed "the backbone" of the rebellion.

While I don't buy the people saying it was staged...its pretty clear Erdogan is going to use this to purge his enemies, both within the military and outside of it.

So this is really going to suck for Turkey. :/
