Yes, that's 100% accurate. Are you trying to claim that Lincoln didn't wipe his ass on the Constitution and slaughter 850,000 Americans? When it comes to killing your own citizens, Lincoln makes Pinochet look like a school boy.Lincoln was a war criminal. Pinochet was a hero to his people who saved Chile from becoming a Soviet client state.Bullshit .. he was a war criminal.The actions of some soldiers under Pinochet were indeed reprehensible. You, like the phony courts...From the same link:
Human rights violations[edit]
See also: Military dictatorship of Chile (1973–90) § Human rights violations, and Human rights violations in Pinochet's Chile
Pinochet's regime was responsible for various human rights abuses during its reign, including murder and torture of political opponents. According to a government commission report that included testimony from more than 30,000 people, Pinochet's government killed at least 3,197 people and tortured about 29,000. Two-thirds of the cases listed in the report happened in 1973.[141]
Professor Clive Foss, in The Tyrants: 2500 Years of Absolute Power and Corruption (Quercus Publishing 2006), estimates that 1,500–2,000 Chileans were killed or "disappeared" during the Pinochet regime. In October 1979, the New York Times reported that Amnesty Internationalhad documented the disappearance of approximately 1,500 Chileans since 1973.[142] Among the killed and disappeared during the military regime were at least 663 Marxist MIR guerrillas.[143] The Manuel RodrÃguez Patriotic Front, however, has stated that only 49 FPMR guerrillas were killed but hundreds detained and tortured.[144] According to a study in Latin American Perspectives,[145] at least 200,000 Chileans (about 2% of Chile's 1973 population) were forced to go into exile. Additionally, hundreds of thousands left the country in the wake of the economic crises that followed the military coup during the 1970s and 1980s.[145] Some of the key individuals who fled because of political persecution were followed in their exile by the DINA secret police, in the framework of Operation Condor, which linked South Americanmilitary dictatorships together against political opponents.
According to Peter Kornbluh in The Pinochet File, "routine sadism was taken to extremes" in the prison camps. The rape of women was common, including sexual torture such as the insertion of rats into genitals and "unnatural acts involving dogs." Detainees were forcibly immersed in vats of urine and excrement. Beatings with gun butts, fists and chains were routine; one technique known as "the telephone" involved the torturer slamming "his open hands hard and rhythmically against the ears of the victim," leaving the person deaf. At Villa Grimaldi, prisoners were dragged into the parking lot and had the bones in their legs crushed as they were run over with trucks. Some died from torture; prisoners were beaten with chains and left to die from internal injuries.[146] Following abuse and execution, corpses were interred in secret graves, dropped into rivers or the ocean, or just dumped on urban streets in the night. The body of the renowned Chilean singer, theatre director and academic VÃctor Jara was found in a dirty canal "with his hands and face extremely disfigured" and with "forty-four bullet holes."[147]
Need to provide evidence Pinochet okay'd these abuses. There is NONE. Zero. Zip. Nada. Which is why he died a free man. He was a hero. End of story, commie lover.
^Patriotic American voting for Trump. Lincoln = war criminal, Pinochet = hero.
^Thinks the confederates were just minding their own business, still unable to raise a single dime to vote out a one Minnesota politician.
