What I liked most about the 'investigation' into their actions before the Coup, although they were forced to acknowledge their associations ONLY with supporters of the Coup, was how when asked for documentation of their 'excuses'. I think I saw the statement in that report 'These matters discussed ORALLY'. Lol, of course they were. When you are planning a crime, stupid as the Bush is, you sure do not document it.
As I said, in any court of law they would have been convicted by their own statements. But as we know, US backed coups are POLICY here, as are illegal invasions of Oil Producing or strategically situated ME countries and no war crime will go without a medal of honor.
There is no doubt, based on their own responses and acknowledgements that the Bush administration backed, even acknowledging financial support for the coup d'etaters, through NED, yes they admitted that.
But Bush always had his apologists for some reason. So just as they got away with the war crimes we are 'looking forward from', they got away with backing the coup against Aristedes and Chavez. So far.
