Just weeks after the coup, the US ambassador in Chile sent a memo to Henry Kissinger noting that "the military government of Chile requires adviser assistance of a person qualified in establishing a detention centre for the detainees ... adviser must have knowledge in the establishment and operation of a detention centre".
Even when the full extent of the torture and executions in Chile were well known, the US government sought to integrate the Pinochet regime into international business circles.--The Guardian
A reporter reminded the Patriot Prayer member (above) that Pinochet was a murderer.
The dictator's victims were "communists weren't they?" was his reply. Justified, apparently, if even remotely true.
The game story.
