Thatcher supported Pinochet. Pinochet's secret police raped and tortured people.
When General Pinochet overthrew Salvador Allende's democratically elected government in September 1973 the women were student activists aged 20 and 22. Ms Godoy-Navarrete was arrested shortly afterwards. Hundreds had already been killed, but she was comparatively lucky, released after being beaten and given electric shock treatment. Ms De Witt escaped the first wave of arrests.
But with the creation of the secret police force, Dina, and their specialist torture centres came a new sweep. Ms Godoy-Navarrete was picked up in December 1974 and Ms De Witt a few months later. They ended up in two of the most notorious of the torture houses, Jose Domingo Canas and the Villa Grimaldi. Their families did not know where they were. Ms Godoy- Navarrete's husband, Roberto, also wanted, was in hiding.
Prisoners at both centres were subjected to electric shocks, severe beatings, suspensions from ceilings until their wrists tore, and rapes.
Ms Godoy-Navarrete recalled: "The torture took place daily. We would be blindfolded, strapped to beds and then it would begin. There were electric shocks administered to all over our bodies, and then there would be a rape.

Thatcher and Pinochet
Baroness Thatcher demanded his immediate release in a letter to the Times newspaper on Thursday.
In her letter, Baroness Thatcher wrote: "By his actions the war was shortened and many British lives were saved."
It is understood that while Chile did not express open support for the UK during the conflict, it did provide material assistance, most notably in allowing the SAS to set up a base on Chilean soil.

There are many people who supported genocidal Communists. Besides Pinochet made Chile a better place economically speaking.

Pinochet made the whole world a better place by tamping down South American communism.

FDR supported Stalin, who made Pinochet look like Mother Theresa by comparison. Obama supported ass-raping hard-core jihadists in Libya. So what?

Those examples just show that communists flock together, as do muslims.

I guess that's when Che posed for his T-shirt portrait. Someone needs to loan him a beret.

And every last Proglodyte supported Saddam Hussein against US troops.

That picture always reminds me of looking in a mirror after a fraternity party.

Exactly, and does anybody with half a brain-cell think that the Allende regime would have been anything other than utterly murderous had it continued?

Dummies would argue that.
