Chile was the most democratic government in Latin America.

Its people elected Salvador Allende president.

Kissinger and Nixon didn't like it and gave the CIA a green light to take Allende down before he could take office.

Thousands of Chileans were tortured, murdered and 'disappeared' and a CIA-appointed thug General Augusto Pinochet took power.

Why did they do it?

They didn't want a democratically elected president in the country who they couldn't personally control because it might set a "bad example" to the rest of the world.

Right wing fascists, OK. Anything else, not permitted.
