Pinochet faces murder case probe

[emad]

BBC News


A Chilean court has stripped former military ruler Augusto Pinochet of his legal immunity over the murder of his predecessor as army chief.

The decision means he can be investigated for his alleged role in the killing of Gen Carlos Prats, who died in a car bomb attack in 1974.

Gen Prats, a symbol of opposition to the Chilean military government, had fled to Argentina.

It is the second case in which Gen Pinochet, 89, has lost his immunity.

YIPPEE!!!!!The P2 Lodge now in serious trouble...

[gratuitous]

1. Oh please, let the trial come speedily

I know that the Grim Reaper has old Augusto in his sights, and could rob his victims of justice on this side of the valley of darkness. Please proceed with all due dispatch, courts of law.

And could you call Henry the K to testify?

2. My feeling is that poor old Gen P may suddenly do an "Arafat"

and conveniently exit the world stage.....

4. Pinochet could make life miserable for Kissinger if he starts talking!

Lord, the stories he could tell.........

I think you're right. He may be contracting the dreaded mysterious disease with no specific causes, which can't be effectively treated.

He'll have to remind everyone of what he used to say: Not a blade of grass in Chile moves without Pinochet's permission.

5. Expect a domino effect in Rome with Licio Gelli and Flavio Carbone

also getting a mystery bug that permanently incapacitates them? (The Roberto Calvi murder trial is still adjourned in Rome following the April discovery by City of London Police of 70 boxes of evidence against the P2 Lodge, its beneficiaries and protegees, after a startling 22 years absence.....)

Kissinger never actually proven to be a member of the P2 Lodge like Pinochet, but he sure as hell hired him.....

Yellow Cake and Black Shirts
We should have been paying attention all along, but particularly since the sadly unsurprising revelation that Italian military intelligence looks to have served as a linchpin in the Niger "Yellow Cake" caper, we would do well to brush up on the strange case of Michael Ledeen

You know Ledeen: arguably Washington's most influential neoconservative. He's resident scholar of the senior neoconservative think tank the American Enterprise Institute, and regarded widely as one of the world's leading authorities on intelligence, counter-intelligence and international affairs. From the beginning, and before the beginning, Ledeen has been one of the loudest cheerleaders for the "War on Terror."

Now, do you know of Italy's "Strategy of Tension"? It was a campaign of false-flag terror in the late 1970s, waged by outright fascists who enjoyed the patronage of the CIA, the Mafia and far right elements of the Italian State. These were the Gladio Brigades and Licio Gelli's P2 Lodge, and they intended to discredit the increasingly popular Communist Party, and to ensure it would not take power, by staging terrorist acts in the name of the Left. Their campaign culminated in the Bologna train station bombing of 1980.

Now, do you know where Michael Ledeen was during these years, what he was doing, and with whom he was doing it?

From tompaine.com:

...terrorism has been Ledeen's bread and butter since at least the late 1970s, when he consulted for Italian military intelligence.

6. Michael Ledeen best chum of ex-UK Tory party leader Ian Duncan

Smith whose Opus Dei connections go back 30 years and who was the main MI6 link man with Donald Rumsfeld when Junior slimed into office in 2000.

Duncan Smith also close personal buddy of HSBC CEO John Bond, a prime suspect for laundering $50billion of stolen assets that ended up in Ken Lay's Enron portfolio which Skilling and Co used as collateral to raise huge bank loans.

Duncan Smith may also have set up murdered Iraqi charity worker Margaret Hassan, who was one of his personal contacts in Baghdad for many years.

Ledeen also has long persobnal association with Bond and Margaret Thatcher......
