Thirty Years After the Assassination of Chilean Diplomat Orlando Letelier, His Son Francisco is Still Seeking Justice
Today is the thirtieth anniversary of the assassination of Chilean diplomat Orlando Letelier and his U.S. colleague, Ronni Moffit in a car bomb on the streets of Washington DC. The assassination was eventually traced back to the regime of General Augusto Pinochet, which was in the midst of a U.S.-backed campaign against Chilean activists. We speak with Orlando Letelier's son, Francisco, as well as Peter Korbluh, author of "The Pinochet File."

Letelier Orlando
There are many people who believe, and a significant amount of evidence to suggest, that the US has a heavy hand in Letelier's assassination. I am reading a book call "The Sorrows of Empire" which documents this US backed coup and letters that suggested the US supplied the intelligence to get this done. Its interesting that Francisco has been allowed to speak out so much. I'm surprised he was allowed to live.
