The silence of the U.S. in all of this jockeying for Pinochet's extradition to Spain has been simply deafening... Are "we" perhaps worried that charges might be brought against, for example, Henry Kissinger? Or what about ITT and Anaconda Copper, both of which were involved up to their eyeteeth in the coup d'etat? May the Oligarchy sleep a tad less well tonight...
