2. Yes!! and this year marks the 30th anniversary of the assassination
of Orlando Letelier and his US assistant Ronni Moffit who were car bombed by Chile's DINA on September 21,1976 along Washington's Embassy Row--the first terrorist attack on US soil. There is much evidence that Bush I as Dir of CIA knew this was gonna happen and did nothing to prevent it.

From Letelier's speech at Madison Square Garden 10 September 1976 just days before his assassination:

I was born a Chilean,
I am a Chilean,
I will die a Chilean.
They, the fascists, were born traitors,
live as traitors
and will be remembered forever as fascist traitors.





Letelier under arrest by US-supported Pinochet's troops at La Moneda. He is beaten regularly. His fingers are broken. Orlando Letelier spends the next year imprisoned in a concentration camp on Dawson Island in Tierra del Fuego.
