We should be slow to oblige when the US comes calling for one of us

THE question over whether or not the Colombia Three should be extradited continues to exercise minds. It could set a dangerous precedent.

Does anyone here have any confidence in a judicial system in Latin America? Chile had a stable democracy until the US instigated the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende, thanks to the machinations of Henry Kissinger and company on September 11, 1973.

Augusto Pinochet, one of the leaders of that neo-fascist coup, is facing trial at home, but does anyone think the US would send Kissinger to Santiago to face trail for his involvement in the murder of the Chilean chief of staff, René Schneider, who was butchered because he refused to allow the army to be used to overthrow the democratic government.
