There have been several detailed reports which describe the human rights abuses carried out by the Pinochet regime. In January 2005, the Chilean Army accepted institutional responsibility for past abuses. Other institutions also accept that abuses took place, but blame them on individuals, rather than official policy. Lucía Pinochet Hiriart, Augusto Pinochet's eldest daughter, said the use of torture during his 1973–90 regime was "barbaric and without justification", after seeing the Valech Report. I confess I am new to this debate; but I would point out that everything you mentioned above is exactly the same sort of thing that leftists regularly accuse George Bush of today. I think Amnesty International produces "detailed reports" of abuses committed by every non-leftist regime. If the accusations come from pinkos, take them with a huge grain of salt.
