Thread Name: Pinochet What?
Subject: RE: Pinochet What?
I can't believe you lot: a Labour Home Secretary returns Pinochet to Chile and you all blame the Tories! What nonsense you all talk about right-wing conspiracies. Isn't it more likely, human-beings being what human-beings are, and politicians being what politicians are, that the government reacted in knee-jerk manner to an extradition request from Spain, before their brains were in gear? Then, realising that they had stirred up a hornets' nest, they've been seeking to get rid of the problem with the minimum of loss of face. And have finally done so.
