The Law's Delay, the Insolence of Office

It appears that the Pinochet dictatorship may have killed at least one real person in addition to "members of left-wing groups". Father Michael Woodward, a British priest, had been suspended from the Catholic church, so it is safe to assume that he wasn't a paedophile. Chile "has pushed in recent years to prosecute human rights violations from the dictatorship of Pinochet, who died in 2006 at the age of 91", having benefited from the protection of Margaret Thatcher and Jack Straw. Hence, five retired naval officers have been accused of subjecting Woodward to extraordinary rendition, enhanced interrogation and induced bio-termination after the military coup in 1973, which was not sponsored by any superpower the Independent finds worth mentioning.
