(75,480 posts)the media pundits try to make it look like a threat. In the context of the question answered, it was not a threat but an observation of what could happen if the information were released. It's the nuance that counts. But you speak Spanish and you know that don't you? So why are you going along with all the propagandists? You obviously have roots in Latin America and unless you are part of the top class of elitists, you have no reason to defend this country's actions there. I too am part of the elitist class, and my father was an Arkansan, but I observed what was going on when I lived there.
My summer job in Chile was in the industrial relations department of the American company my dad worked for. I really saw first hand what the company was doing there especially the bullying the union leaders got on a regular basis when summoned to my American supervisor's office, a man who never bothered to learn Spanish, hence my job was to act as interpreter. He would have busted all the unions if he could but they were too strong.
Americas days of imperialism are over my friend and it can't come soon enough. As an American myself, I don't want to be embarrassed at the least and horrified at the most at what this country does globally to every other nation they think they can raid at will for their resources, like we are some kind of modern day vikings and pirates.
