Pinochet arrested The Guardian is reporting that Augusto Pinochet the former military dictator of Chile has been arrested on charges of murder, torture and kidnapping. Some would say that we should leave him alone now that he is over 90 but I think that no ex dictator should ever be able to sleep easy in the knowledge that no one is out to get them because we should.

Ruling a country in the world does carry some responsibilities with the job. It's not just an opportunity to get off to international conferences, march your troops up and down and redecorate your imperial palace in dictator chic style bling. One of the most important is not killing your own people, torture is also a very bad idea. I hope the present vice president of the US is taking note hear. Infact if one of the people who've taken the Cheney swim presses charges then that big ol Dick could be paying more than a passing visit to a local cell if he decides to exit the God Almighty U. S of A.  ¶ 9:10 pm
