Everyone knows that left wing dictators are "evil tyrants" whereas as right wing dictators are an "unfortunate embarrassment".
It is too late to punish Pinochet anyway. Any adequate form of deterrent and retribution would make his accusers look cruel and undignified. He is a pathetic old fugitive, now ninety years old.
I am glad he has been booked though. The issue should not be one of punishment. What most needs to be done, is that the false aura of dignity, which surrounds this nasty, sordid, ruthless criminal should be removed for ever. He is essentially Ronnie Kray on a bigger scale. I hope that the current legal action wakes more people up to the fact.
