When Augusto Pinochet was arrested in London last October, it was more than twenty-five years after he came into power. British authorities arrested him on the request of a Spanish magistrate who wants Pinochet prosecuted

Contreras was the mastermind behind many projects and missions, whose main goal was to hunt down leftist enemies. It was his secret police that killed more than two thousand union leaders and leftists, and disposed of the bodies either in the Pacific or buried in mass graves in northern Chile. Contreras also organized "Operation Condor" which was a secret plan involving many South American countries. This project involved hunting down leftist enemies, escorting them across international borders and then torturing and murdering them. The military commanders who were involved in these "projects" are just as responsible for these crimes as Contreras is. The one question that remains however is whether or not Pinochet was aware of these crimes or even ordered them. No one knows for sure, which is why the case against Pinochet is so readily argued.

The fact that Spain is becoming involved in the prosecution of Pinochet is absolutely ludicrous. They are trying to prosecute Pinochet for his own political actions in his own country. Even the Chilean government has declined to prosecute him or even remove
