She may have been booed last week at Augusto Pinochet's funeral, but that hasn't stopped current Chilean Defense Minister, Vivianne Blanlot, from speaking up about Pinochet including taking his side. In a recent interview with the Chilean daily (and conservative) newspaper, El Mercurio, Blanlot said that Pinochet should have his bust in the gallery of Chilean heads of state inside the Moneda Palace. Yes, that would be the same Moneda he launched an attack on (with CIA help) in 1973 to overthrow the legally elected Salvador Allende. Link : La Jornada
