1. This vile piece of dung

will die without paying for his crimes which the US helped him carry out.

[LSparkle]

3. Agreed

Disgustingly unfair.

[u2spirit]

8. Stop and think about it

How often do "people" like Pinochet ever actually pay for what they did. Not often. Hitler died before he was brought to justice. Pol Pot died in a small village if I recall correctly. Hussein will probably die before his show trial ever starts. Romania was the last place I remember a brutal dictator answering to the people.Unfortunately, justice is reserved for those criminals that are poor.

12. Most of his US backers have long since died in bed

of old age and natural causes.

There is no justice against fascists.

[ozymandius]

14. There's one left.

Kissinger is still stealing our air. He hired Pinochet to rule Chile.

[msanthrope]

26. I hope he spends the next decade on a feeding tube, crapping

himself. Somethings are worse than death.

2. as Mark Morford would say....

Hell Readies a Room #7,843.

6. Maybe he and Kissinger can be roomies in hell.

Oh, man .. picture that shit!

7. Satan would quit.

13. Is Henry Kissinger a war criminal, fascist or just misunderstood

Had that old thread on rewind, sounded like a good time for a relay.

Anybody got any more blasts from the past?

28. HK is a war criminal. Big time!

I watched his arch-light bombings of neutral Cambodia and Laos in 1970 and 71. The destruction was unbelievable. Millions of civilians were killed. I saw it from my 9000 ft perch in a spy-plane (SP-2E Neptune) over the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos and Cambodia.

4. I want confirmation from an independent doctor

That sack of shit has pulled the "bad health" con trick before.

17. Thanks, edited my windy post already

He is better alive than dead for some reasons. The gift of life, it just keeps on giving

[Botany]

5. He should be dragged behind a slow moving donkey cart to .....

..... the hospital where the children of Salvador Allende can work on him.
Drag Kissinger too.

El noche del generales.

9. Please please let this evil

man remain conscious for months.

[NuttyFluffers]

23. stole the words outta my mouth.

and may one side of his body be paralyzed, and his speech effected, and a horrific itch develops on that side that he just cannot scratch, and no one can understand his screams...

[malaise]

24. Damn that's good n/t

[jayfish]

10. Bummer.

NOT!

11. what a damn shame

now this asshole is taking up a hospital bed that someone worthwhile could be in

[PurityOfEssence]

18. I believe that electrodes on the testicles is a great therapy for stroke

Perhaps we could test what nerve damage he's sustained: smashing fingers is a good way to start...

19. They did once say what's good for goose is good for the gander

Yet somehow it seems how it is going now seems much more fitting. To see your life in front of you, good or bad has more benefit for everybody. He may responsible for many lost lives, but the lessons we are learning from this long swan dance is getting to be like the death of a thousand cuts, he may dislike it, but it heals others more. He may also have some sanction in the US, but much of world knows of him and how he acted for puppet for the US and US based corporations.

We say "Not in our name", but what does that really encompass with this fellow?

[Frederik]

20. Good riddance

[bluestateguy]

21. Good. I hope he dies.

And dies a slow painful DEATH!!!!

[AP]

22. I wonder how much US Taxpayer money is about to pass to his heirs?

[laylah]

25. Karma

Plain and simple.

27. Chilean Newspaper websites say he was released

to return home after four hours. He had fainted. Pinochet gets sick every time some judge considers removing his immunities. They have recently been considering his secret accounts at Riggs Bank. Pinochet gets sick like Cheney's puppet has a terror alert.
