Finally, we know
The Guardian reprints a piece by Naomi Klein from the Nation. Mostly the same old stuff about how the poor countries desperately need more socialism. But there was one amusing twist.
In August 1976, Orlando Letelier, a former minister in Allende’s overthrown government, asked how the international community could profess horror at Pinochet’s human rights abuses while supporting his free-market policies: “Repression for the majorities and ‘economic freedom’ for small privileged groups are in Chile two sides of the same coin,” he wrote. Less than a month later, he was killed by a car bomb in Washington, DC. The greatest enemies of terror never lose sight of the economic interests served by violence, or the violence of capitalism itself. Letelier understood that. So did Rachel Corrie. As our movements converge in Cancun, so must we.
So now we finally know for certain who bumped off Leterlier. Citibank did it.
