	Talk:Augusto Pinochet/Archive 3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The day of the coup, the American reporter Charles Horman was in Viña del Mar, near the port of Valparaíso, which was a key base for both the Chilean coup plotters and US military and intelligence personnel who were supporting them.
		There is absolutely no known conection between the CIA and Pinochet in the Allende years, and, as much as 172 and others try to make is pass as a fact, there is no proof either of a role in the actual coup, though there are strong suggestions.
		The coup was far more than just the fancy of Pinochet, or the influence of the US, to try to simplyfy it as a US backed coup leaded by Pinochet is a disservice to history.
