this is lame.

I just LOVE how my country rewrites history as it pleases...

"Pinochet seized power Sept. 11, 1973, toppling democratically elected Marxist President Salvador Allende, who committed suicide during the military bombardment of the government palace."

funny, I don't recall reading about allende killing himself... I seem to recall the history being he was killed during the coup by pinochet's forces (with, of course, US backing). but heaven forbid US media actually report that a democratically elected socialist be the victim of a horrendous and unjust coup...
