Ronald Reagan's Bloody Apocalypto
For many
Americans who have watched Mel Gibson's Apocalypto, the pain of
the fictional ancient Mayas in the movie is more real than the actual
suffering of real Mayas who were tortured and slaughtered in the 1980s
with the help of then-President Ronald Reagan. When a right-wing
military dictator was waging this modern genocide against Mayas,
Reagan was busy covering the killers' tracks and giving them more
efficient weapons to carry out the task. But that history now is less
known to Americans than Gibson's faux history of 500 years ago. December

Pinochet's Death Spares Bush Family
The
heart-attack death of notorious Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet means
the Bush Family can breathe a little easier, knowing the criminal cases
against Pinochet can no longer implicate his longtime friend and
protector, George H.W. Bush. Pinochet also was protected from facing
justice by George W. Bush, who sidetracked an FBI recommendation to
indict Pinochet for the terrorist murder of a Chilean dissident and an
American woman in Washington in 1976. December 12, 2006
