WRITTEN IN THE STARS

(Dec. 17, 2004) It was a bad week for Chile’s honest dictator, Gen. Augusto José Ramón Pinochet Ugarte, who was charged with nine counts of kidnapping and one of murder committed as part of Operation Condor.

“It is an abuse against the most elementary human rights of a person,” fulminated Pablo Rodríguez, the formidable head of Pinochet’s phalanx of defense lawyers.
