Investigators: Secret CIA files could help Chile

Survivors of Gen. Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship are hoping Barack Obama's visit next month will lead to the release of more classified US documents that could be critical to prosecuting the Chilean agents responsible for torturing and killing leftists decades ago.

They say the US president's visit should also encourage their own government to make good on its promises to deal more forcefully with the darkest period in Chile's political history.

Of all the Latin American countries that have shaken off dictatorships, none has made greater strides than Chile in convicting those responsible for torturing and killing political opponents. The U.S. has helped by declassifying huge troves of documents revealing what it knew about the Sept. 11, 1973 coup - Chile's own 9/11 - and the bloody crackdown that lasted through the 1980s.

Authorities are under particular pressure from the daughters of two presidents whose deaths remain shrouded in mystery - Salvador Allende, who was said to have committed suicide as Pinochet's troops seized the presidential palace in 1973, and his predecessor Eduardo Frei Montalva, allegedly poisoned during routine hernia surgery in 1982, when he was a leading critic of the dictatorship.

It was written by the CIA -- but in general it provides a timeline and roadmap that led to 9/11.

in this report. It will take a lot of people by surprise.

We can be sure their tactics are far more evolved now, far more determined, and they have, of course, learned from their previous mistakes, and created more effective methods.

It IS interesting they admit, at least where Chile is concerned, and the great distance in time, that they did funnel money into militant opposition groups, and, of course, they do touch lightly on their propaganda efforts. Still, it's better than a kick in the pants, or far worse, isn't it?

This report is entirely worth studying for people interested in learning something about this complex, and open catastrophe behind the brutal abuse of human beings, so many, so cruelly, and so hideously, so coldly employed, with no end in sight.

If our society weren't meant to evolve, why did anyone ever bother to imagine, to create the word "evolve," anyway? Maybe in our lifetimes we will be around to see it can happen, no matter how dark things have looked.

Sad that so many imbeciles imagine that "progress" refers to technology, and don't grasp the simple fact it actually is an inner transformation.
