That would have been my guess based upon the reading I have done.  

It would seem that this is part of the process of the coup de etat.  Attempting to discredit the leader in the eyes of the people, both  nationally and internationally so that no one will seriously complain when the axe falls.  

It is happening with Aristide, who is now demonized for speaking out against the "blondes".  Did Aristide really tell his followers to physically attack them?  I doubt it.  Just like I don't believe Chavez tells his followers to physically attack the rich in Venezuela.  

It also happened in my "favorite" US coup de etat against Mossadeq in Iran.  (For one of the CIAs playbooks I would recommend "All the Shah's Men" by Stephen Kinzer.)  I call it my "favorite" because the USA, at the insistence of Britian, removed the most progressive leader in the history of the Middle East from life.  

Who are the great leaders of South America that the USA has removed and ushered in despots?  Allende and Pinochet come to mind but I guess there is at least one set per country.  

Maybe we should be looking to the root of this problem and asking ourselves why the US government seems intent on keeping all others off the path that it has taken.
