J'accuse
If I were an attorney representing the Horman family against the United States government, accusing them of playing a role in the disappearance and murder of Charles Horman, I think I would stick to one major question: as deeply entrenched as the U.S. was in the Chilean coup, how could an American citizen be captured and killed without U.S. knowledge, if not support? I would point to U.S. involvement in the coup, as well as their close relationship with some of the players involved. My approach would be to hammer continually that question: how did this happen independent of the U.S.?

You make a good point, but the U.S. involvement in the coup was covert, so they would not have acknowledged any support or control over the Provisional Government. Their involvement was so hush-hush that it was probably Horman's discovery of their operation that led to his assassination.
