-Caveat Lector-
The December 2l, l998 issue of THE NATION has a marvelous article by Peter
Kornbluh about Pinochet and our part in making his governmental policies. It
appears the British are not all fond of him either. There is one spot in the
article where a British columnist for THE INDEPENDENT responds to Chileans
lobbying for Pinochet's release by writing:
"Your beloved general is safe from us. He will not be tortured, stabbed or
shot, or have electrodes attached to his genitals. We will not drop him from
a helicopter into the sea, kidnap his grandchildren, break his hands or gouge
his eyes. Our most vengeful hope is that he and his family may feel--if only
for a second--one billionth part of the terrible pain and mental agony that he
so pompously and callously visited on others."
And our CIA could always chime in just like the kid in the commercials with,
"And I helped." There's one observation that the CIA's Santiago station
chief, Stuart Burton, maintained "a close relationship: with DINA commander
Col. Manuel Contreras. They used to go on SUnday picnics together with their
families. It's a humdinger of an article, and I recommend it highly. The
Calvin Trillin poem alone is worth the price of the magazine.
