I don't believe corporate media sources here would have bothered to publish his words, which should be remembered for their eloquence. From the Independent article you posted:

"It was not genocide but `politicide' what he was doing. He was trying to wipe out the leadership of a whole generation of the working class," he said.

Thank you for sharing this information. It really needs to be seen. At the time this all happened, the U.S., under Nixon was delighted to have placed Pinochet in power, and wanted Chile to stay that way.
