United States: Bolivian president wasn't forced out by coup

Senior officials at the U.S. State Department said Monday the situation in Bolivia is not a coup, despite what some Latin American governments have claimed. Bolivia's first indigenous president Evo Morales resigned Sunday after weeks of protests following a disputed election. The U.S. officials said the Bolivian military merely pointed out the fact that public security had deteriorated by the time they asked Morales to resign.
