Guys, you are disappointing me.
You call yourself skeptics and you don't know the CIA sponsors most of the coup d'etat in the world? There is an old joke about that: Why is there no coups in the US? Answer: Because in the US there is no US embassy.
And beside don't knowing that, your only argument is to make my statements look ridicule?
and blaming on KGB propaganda? Excuse me, but some of you sound just like Nazi apologists.
Wake up dudes, I know it is hard to learn your government and secret services suck, but that is something most of us have to deal with. Before US, it was England, and way before England, it was Rome, and Egypt, and so on. Don't feel ashamed, it is just your historic turn.
I'll start with Sentrymans requirement for evidence on torture and murder during Pinochet times. I can add lovely details such as dead bodies attached to train rails dropped to the sea from an helicopter. Don't worry, that they don't learned that in the School of Americas, pure Chilean creativity.
Ok, you can start your search here, if you really want to know some facts of course, you can always just turn your head and look to the other side.

Oh, and I was wrong, it was not 3,000 but only 2,279 killed and missing. We can attribute the 721 extra to KGB propaganda.
