Chile's Pinochet 'suffers stroke'
Former Chilean President Augusto Pinochet has been taken to hospital after suffering a stroke, doctors say.
"His vital signs are stable, and he has made a partial and conscious recovery," a statement from the Santiago hospital said. He is to remain in hospital. Judge Juan Guzman ruled on Monday that the former leader was fit to stand trial on alleged human rights abuses during his 17 years of military rule. His lawyers are contesting the ruling and a verdict is due next Monday.
From BBC News and I added: quote:
Chilean officials then decided to end the interminable debates over Pinochet's legal status by wheeling out the muttering, grumbling murderer's wheelchair and firing six bullets into the old fascist thief's heart.

These were two of the great villains of my adult life. Every time either one of them makes the news for any reason, I am glad that more and more people are drawn into learning the history of their evil regimes, their evil conspiracies, and above all their dependence on an even more powerful source of international evil in Washington, DC. At the same time, I think that their deaths are irrelevant. We all die. Death is not retribution (unless one is murdered for that reason). Trying them would be justice. Or if they die first, then writing out the record as fully as possible for future generations is justice. But we all die, and to spin metaphors from death or illness is to indulge a dangerous superstition.

Hi there! Just wanted to let you know that "Coño Sur" means "South Cunt", heh, you mean "Cono Sur" (how did your keyboard grow an "ñ", anyway?) Happy new year from Spain, everyone! Yes, I'm pretty drunk right now, don't ask. Salud!

I'm sorry, lagatta. Being rude was the last thing on my mind, I assure you. I just found it funny, that's all. Again, i'm sorry if I offended you.
Fidel: about the song, yeah, I think I know the one, and it's Italian. In Spanish it's "Cuando".

Supreme court rules Pinochet 'fit for trial'.Yay! What else can Ralph Klein's hero do to delay justice? quote:
Chile's supreme court yesterday upheld the indictment and house arrest of General Augusto Pinochet for nine kidnappings and one homicide allegedly committed during his long dictatorship.
The court's 3-2 vote cleared the way for Pinochet to be tried on the latest charges of human rights abuses during his 1973-90 regime. "The sentence ... has been confirmed," the court secretary, Carlos Meneses, said, referring to Pinochet's appeal.
