Say What?!?!

You can imagine my surprise tonight when I logged into Yahoo to find this headline at Yahoo News:

Bank Scandal Smears Pinochet Image


I mean, what is there left to smear?

The guy was a brutal and murderous dictator, exactly which image is there left to smear?

If you read the article it says something like Chileans are grateful that although having his hands soaking wet in innocent blood, Pinochet never abused his power to increase his assets.

No one that fancies himself of being a dictator would keep his hands off the money, give me a break, they dedicate their whole tenures to ensure that the filthy rich make more money.

The sad part is, this tells you how much the media sanitizes the "image" of people like Pinochet, or Franco, or Aznar.

If you want to read the whole note go
here.
