In regards to Bradley being portrayed as innocent to lend legitimacy to Mustang's coup I think that's the equivalent exchange in overthrowing a tyrannical regime but letting the system of it remain. Because at the end of the day the land of Amestris is still Authoritarian and borderline fascist in the structure of its government. Had Mustang, General Armstrong, and the rest of the military branch overthrown the government to bring forth democracy or something like that, they could've branded Bradley as the tyrant he was. But as they decided to try and change Amestris through reform as a progressive dictatorship they have to keep up the lie that Bradley was a good man.
