INVESTIGATING HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES IN CHILE

I won't argue whether former Chilean leader Agosto Pinochet conducted himself morally or legally during his effort to save Chile from Communism. An article in the Seattle Times reports on some leaks that have occured during investigations into abuses during Pinchet's tenure. They may or may not be true.

What is missing here is the fact that there don't seem to be any human right investigations sponsored by any states to look into the 100 million-plus that were murdered, raped, starved, tortured, imprisoned, or otherwise abused by communist led governments since 1917. Leftists demand investigations when the abuses occur at the hand of "right wing" dictators, but are silent in the face of overwhelming evidence of mass murder by "left wing" dictators.

Read "The Black Book of Communism", then decide which side is evil.
