Chile’s Amnesty Law keeps Pinochet’s legacy alive

2. Well said.

It's encouraging to see that, as the article noted, hundreds of prosecutions are going forward despite the Pinochamnesty. Nevertheless, it's no doubt being used as a legal shelter by hundreds of others (especially well-connected civilians and the top brass) and thus remains a serious blight on Chile's otherwise stellar democracy of today.

If Argentina could do it despite all the rancor and threats from the right (and there's certainly been a lot), so can they.
