Soldiers holding the Bosphorus bridge surrender. That's how it began. Why no manifesto, why not a coup by Turkey "playbook"? We will learn.

To everyone asking if the Turkey coup was "staged." Umm, no. Forget everything else. You can't pull this off. Planes bombed parliament.

Friends, I'm logging off. Thanks for all the well wishes. I'm not 100% certain of my plans. I'm in a safe place. I'll wait and seek clarity.

This was one of the most bizarre nights. As I did yesterday, I wish for democracy, free press, rule of law, tolerance and peace.

Turkey's military is among world's largest. It has wall-to-wall tanks in massive coups. A few generals is not big. https://twitter.com/DannyNis/status/754179352850526208 …
