Pinochet - Haunting Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et. al.
This is a picture of Augusto Pinochet, former dictator of Chile, who has been placed under house arrest in Santiago on charges of murder and torture. Pinochet is 90 and may escape prosecution due to various medical maladies. The events in question occurred three decades ago following a US sanctioned coup that overthrew the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende. I trust the principals in the Bush Administration look at Pinochet as an omen, a foreshadowing of their own old age.Labels: torture

If only...
Actually, I think that BushCo will find themselves in a similar situaiton down the road; remember that Pinochet first was detained in Britain and presecuted in Spain. That he is not in prison is simmply a matter of old age. And now he is being prosecuted in his home country. Better late than never.
