It is not unreasonable to assume from the Wash. Times article that Pres. Bush was aware of the ongoing dispute with the Chilean police, and he stepped in when he saw that

Not unreasonable. I can imagine him doing what he did either way, with or without that prior knowledge.

I'm glad he's well. And I'm glad he's President.
