Disclaimer: these are all alleged

[Assuming a pro-cuban pro-venzualan government wins in Boliva] If the Bolivian opposition came to CIA and said "Would you please sponsor our coup of the democratically elected government" I personally doubt that the US (CIA) would reject the idea because it would undermine democracy. They might reject it b/c for many other reasons, but protecting democracy wouldn't be one of them.
