28. Without US involvement to help him escape, he would've been arrested. The Justice Chief...
...was very pissed off that he got out of the country because it likely ruined any chances for prosecution. The US airbase (and it was a US airbase at the time, not sure if it is still) was the escaping point. If the US didn't want him why did they denounce the "coup" and then go on to not recognize the new government for months there?
