Jump To Comment: 1 2 3You'll not have forgotten about mister Pinochet will you?
The charges of "c-o-r-r-u-p-t-i-o-n" were added to the list today. You'll have noticed that he goes in and goes out, goes gaga, goes to the health clinic, his kids can't behave themselves, his old mate the german got given a revolver and the option to behave like an officer and gentleman & "sort it out himself" and used it on the police sent to take him away the next day & yet he hasn't gone down yet,
odd isn't it?
you'll get that.
The charges of c-o-r-r-u-p-t-i-o-n had not previously been on the list, and mister pinochet and supporters had claimed that though the regime saw hundreds of thousands people dissappear, or suffer torture, and earn the support of Vatican number 2, cardinal soldano, and be fully supported throughout by the USA and UK under thatcher -
"it was all really clean".

Pinochet is asking can his old immunity not cover allegations of b-r-i-b-e-s and c-o-r-r-u-p-t-i-o-n & all the other little decisions that get made on the QT.

no that old immunity doesn't. He's 89 years old now.

bad old b-a-s-t-a-r-d
use the noodle. soya noodle.
Chile elected a left wing government which wanted to nationalise resources including copper, the U$A said no, and helped Pinochet to power. He now faces charges for corruption, and no more operation condor murder charges. That is history.
Zimbabwe went through post-apartheid seeing a supremacist regime declare unilateral independence from the UK, and the popular regime of Mugabe install itself and in the same period of time become one of the most loathed brutal regimes of Africa.
That is history and todays general strike news.
Brazil went through dictatorship like most of the south american continent, and eventually embraced a popular democracy whose socialist party are now embroiled in allegations of bribery.
That is history and today's news.
Bolivia history and news.
the various government minister and heads of the judiciary are resigning as they resign the constitution places the duty to form an interim government in yet more politicians hands who no-one ever voted for thinking "he'll be the provisional president, hola presidente!". Meanwhile the USA opposes the will of the bolivian people to nationalise their resources.
The USA wants that gas.
So choose your solidarity.

The scandal is really hitting the Brazilian PT, a bit ironic considering the really good message they were trying to send with the conference.
I suppose there might be a lesson in this for us all.....
= any chance of a international conference on g-r-a-f-t in Ireland?
