["Nello Margiotta" <animarg@tin.it>]

ieri sera il faccione di kissinger troneggiava sul La7 riverito dai
conduttori Lerner e Ferrara oltre quel simpaticone di Tremonti: non ho retto
!!
ma lo stesso si e' ben guardato di andare alla CBS a difendersi dalle
accusedel figlio di Schneider che lo accusava di essere il mandante
dell'omicidio del padre:

(CBS) 60 Minutes has learned that the family of a murdered Chilean general
plans to file a lawsuit seeking damages against Henry Kissinger for his
alleged role in the death of Gen. Rene Schneider, the commander of the
Chilean Army who was killed by kidnappers in 1970. Citing recently
declassified government documents, the civil suit is expected to claim that
the CIA supported a kidnapping plot which led to the death of the Chilean
general. The CIA's support for the kidnapping was part of a larger effort by
the Agency to instigate a coup in Chile - an objective ordered by President
Nixon and overseen by Kissinger. Bob Simon reports, Sunday, September 7, at
7 p.m. ET/PT.
Rene Schneider Jr., son of the late general, tells Simon, "I always wanted
to put all this behind me, but we have a duty to humanity to speak about
this. It would be irresponsible to remain silent."
Accounts of the former U.S. ambassador to Chile and the embassy's former
military attaché - both of whom appear in the report - and the documents
tell the Cold War story of the Nixon administration's desire to thwart
leftist politician Salvadore Allende's successful election to Chile's
presidency. The Nixon White House sought a military coup in Chile before
Allende's inauguration, but Schneider, a constitutional defender, stood in
the way. Schneider was shot by the would-be kidnappers when he reached for
his revolver.
Kissinger declined to speak to 60 Minutes, but when questioned about Chile
in the past, he has responded that he personally cut off support for the
coup conspirators during a meeting with the CIA on Oct. 15, 1970, a few days
before Schneider's murder. CIA officials, however, differed with Kissinger
on this point in subsequent investigations. The Senate committee that
investigated the matter could not determine who was telling the truth.
