I just watched a documentary on Henry Kissinger, in which he blatantly lied about US involvement during the Allende govt. He admitted to the efforts to influence the election and to keep Allende from assuming office (there was a kidnapping of a general that went awry), but he blatantly contradicted the public record by saying the US government took no action to oust Allende after he took office. Yet all of that is documented by US government documents.

When Nail Ferguson (another RWer who pisses me off) first brought up Chile, Kissinger didn't want to talk about it and asked them to stop filming. He had no problem talking about the bombing of Cambodia, but Chile he tried to avoid.
