Can't imagine how the MSM left out so many details regarding Allende.

"Can't imagine how the MSM left out so many details regarding Allende." Same as they did in the Ukraine. They don't like rating out their communist pals and expose them for the mass murderers they are, all in the name of communism.

Fantastic read, I have always understood the need of what Pinochet did, I had no idea as to the exact facts of why. Sent a copy to the Editors this morning; asking they balance their recent editorial indicating the only injustice was Pinochet was not tried.

Never mind the MSM, the Pinochet threads are full of Freepers who leave out these details.
To: slickeroo
By the time of Pinochet's coup, an estimated 31,000 Cuban, Soviet bloc, and communist operatives infested Chile, including Castro's top terrorist spymasters, Antonio De La Guardia and his (nominal) boss Manuel "Barbarroja" Pineiro. Among the hundreds of Soviet personnel were KGB luminaries, Viktor Efremov, Vasili Stepanov, and Nikolai Kotchanov. Delousing Chile from that infestation with only 3,000 casualties was a miracle!

Pinochet and Franco were heroes of Western Civilization. Cuba probably had a Franco or a Pinochet but he was killed at the Bay of Pigs due to JFK's treachery.

IIRC, (not mentioned in the article) didn't the Chilean Congress request that Pinochet overthrow Allende?
To: slickeroo
Fighting the Communists once they have taken over one's country is never a nice or neat process. It is illiberal in the extreme. Liberal institutions may, at times, required illiberal supports.
