3. WOW! Vivanco served PINOCHET, for godssakes! I am stunned!
I have just finished reading the whole Petras analysis, and I don't think I have ever read an analysis that pins fascist liars to a wall, the way this one does, in what feels like a white heat of passionate anger, but reads like clarity itself, from sentence to sentence and section to section.

A white heat of passionate anger in the service of TRUTH.

"For the partisans of democracy, human rights and self-determination, every effort should be made to expose the insidious role of HRW and its Pinochetista propagandist, Vivanco, for what they are - publicists and promoters of US-backed clients who have given 'human rights' a dirty name."

So, how do we take up this challenge, and expose HRW and Vivanco to our DU members, and get this out of the "backyard" of U.S. politics, and onto the main page?

It looks like it might be too late for "Latest Breaking News" but perhaps it should be posted in GD: Politics, to challenge the Corpo/Democratic position on Chavez, and to explain, a) why Bushwhack/Corpo policy on Venezuela is so counter-productive, and b) how important it is that we get accurate information about the democracy revolution in South America.

This is just horrifying that our tax dollars are going to a Pinochet hiree, to propagandize us and the world about a democracy movement that we, as a party and a country, should be supporting.
