Who is this General Augusto Pinochet guy? Here we take you
on a tour of web sites from around the world from those who loathe
him, and those who worship him. Those who supported him and those
who were executed by him.
 The hero of the left who Pinochet ousted
from office, then executed:
Salvador
Allende
"Salvador Allende was elected, by popular vote, as President
of Chile in 1970. He stood on the Marxist platform of Unidad
Popular. Nixon and Kissinger were apoplectic about his election
from day one."
- Personal tribute by a Billy Bragg fan
"Chilean
History"
"In a display of unpardonably bad conduct, the Chilean people
elect Salvadore Allende president."
I don't see
why we should have to stand by and let a country go communist
due to the irresponsibility of its own people'
- Henry Kissinger
Pinochet's friends:
 Margaret
Thatcher
Pinochet is believed to have allowed the
British to use parts of southern Chile as a jumping off point
for attacks on Argentine air bases during the Falklands War.
The General is a big 'Maggie' fan - apparently he calls her office
to arrange afternoon tea every time he visits London.
Update: Thatcher welcomed at Pinochet's
Wentworth house for coffee - March '99
 The Central Intelligence
Agency
"You are entering an Official United States Government System...The
Government may monitor and audit the usage of this system, and
all persons are hereby notified that use of this system constitutes
consent to such monitoring and auditing."
The General takes his seat in the senate "guaranteeing"
him immunity from prosecution:
