Former Chilean Dictator Augusto Pinochet Dies Dec. 10, 2006 General Augusto Pinochet, who ruled Chile as a dictator for 17 years, is dead. He led the military coup that overthrew Chile's elected socialist president, Salvador Allende, in 1973. He was ruthless in eliminating his political opponents in Chile, and ultimately was held responsible for the torture and deaths of thousands of people.
A number of other important truths about the Pinochet period and its legacy are equally well documented but less well known. Indeed, they are often not acknowledged at all. (A notable partial exception to this rule was the Washington Post editorial of December 12 that bore the headline âA dictatorâs double standard: Augusto Pinochet tortured and murdered. His legacy is Latin Americaâs most successful country.â)
