Kissinger accused over Chile plot

Mr Kissinger has denied his involvement

A lawsuit has been filed against the former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger over his alleged role in the death of the former Chilean army commander, General Rene Schneider, in 1970.

The suit was filed in Washington by members of the general's family. They accuse Mr Kissinger of being involved in what they say was a US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) plot to kill him.

General Schneider died after resisting a kidnapping attempt which, the family says, was part of a wider plot to prevent the Chilean Marxist leader, Salvador Allende, from becoming president.

Mr Kissinger has repeatedly denied any involvement in General Schneider's death.

The court action follows several requests by judges in Chile and Argentina judges to question Mr Kissinger over human rights abuses committed during the military regimes of the 1970s.

The BBC correspondent in Washington says the lawsuit stems from an investigation by a US television network, which claims that CIA communications contradict Mr Kissinger's version of events.

General Schneider's family say the botched kidnapping attempt took place as part of a covert White House campaign to prevent Socialist Salvador Allende from becoming president.

General Pinochet (l) ousted President Allende

Both Mr Kissinger and his boss, the then-president Richard Nixon, were heavily involved in backing anti-Allende factions in Chile, the indictment alleges.

The general was a key player in Chile at the time as he had provided crucial backing to Mr Allende after his narrow presidential election victory on 4 September 1970.

In an apparent attempt to remove Mr Allende's military support, coup plotters attempted to kidnap General Schneider, but shot him when he reached for his gun in self-defence.

He died two days after the attempt on 24 October 1970 in Santiago's Military Hospital.

Mr Kissinger, President Nixon's national security adviser at the time, and later secretary of state for both Mr Nixon and his successor, Gerald Ford, has always denied his involvement.

In 1975, a US Senate investigation established that America had indeed backed a coup which eventually brought down Mr Allende three years later, and set up the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet.

However, Mr Kissinger testified before the Senate hearing that he cut off all support for the coup plotters the week before General Schneider was murdered.

A high-ranking State Department official referred to previously declassified documents about the situation in Chile during the 1960s and '70s, saying "the documents speak for themselves".

Family To Sue Kissinger For Death

1970 Kidnapping Of General Led To Death
Was Henry Kissinger To Blame?

(CBS) 60 Minutes has learned that the family of a murdered Chilean general plans to file a lawsuit seeking damages against Henry Kissinger for his alleged role in the death of Gen. Rene Schneider, the commander of the Chilean Army who was killed by kidnappers in 1970. Citing recently declassified government documents, the civil suit is expected to claim that the CIA supported a kidnapping plot which led to the death of the Chilean general. The CIA's support for the kidnapping was part of a larger effort by the Agency to instigate a coup in Chile – an objective ordered by President Nixon and overseen by Kissinger. Bob Simon reports, Sunday, September 7, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

Rene Schneider Jr., son of the late general, tells Simon, "I always wanted to put all this behind me, but we have a duty to humanity to speak about this. It would be irresponsible to remain silent."

Accounts of the former U.S. ambassador to Chile and the embassy's former military attaché - both of whom appear in the report - and the documents tell the Cold War story of the Nixon administration's desire to thwart leftist politician Salvadore Allende's successful election to Chile's presidency. The Nixon White House sought a military coup in Chile before Allende's inauguration, but Schneider, a constitutional defender, stood in the way. Schneider was shot by the would-be kidnappers when he reached for his revolver.

Kissinger declined to speak to 60 Minutes, but when questioned about Chile in the past, he has responded that he personally cut off support for the coup conspirators during a meeting with the CIA on Oct. 15, 1970, a few days before Schneider's murder. CIA officials, however, differed with Kissinger on this point in subsequent investigations. The Senate committee that investigated the matter could not determine who was telling the truth.

> #RATE is the number of inmates per 100,000 population. U.S. resident population is for December 31. U.S. territories population of 4,329,000 is for midyear 2000. 1 in every 136 residents in the United States and its Territories was incarcerated at yearend 2000. In addition to inmates held in prisons and jails, there were 138,184 more people behind U.S. and territorial bars. U.S. Territories and Commonwealths are American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands. An August 2001, Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), report gives year 2000 numbers of 16,130 in U.S. territorial prisons; 8,894 in facilities operated by (or exclusively for) the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service; 2,420 in military facilities; 1,775 in American Indian country jails; and 108,965 in juvenile facilities (as of October 1999). *1925 to 1977 incarceration rates are estimates based on t626.pdf link below. Use free Adobe Acrobat reader to get 1925-77 prison rates from the link. 1925-77 jail rates are estimated as 50% of prison rates. Prison rate plus jail rate equals total incarceration rate. Note that in the 50 year period between 1928-78 the overall incarceration rate stayed within a narrow range of 140 to 206. Federal alcohol Prohibition was in effect from 1920 to 1933. Federal marijuana prohibition began in 1937. ***The U.S. incarceration rate has QUINTUPLED since 1971 when "law and order" Republican President Richard Nixon declared the "War on Drugs." 1973 was the year Nixon's DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency), the U.S. secret police, began.

> "... the U.S. rate of incarceration has just surpassed that of Russia and the U.S. is now the world leader in imprisonment. The [December 31, 1999] U.S. rate of 690 prisoners per 100,000 population has surpassed the Russian rate, which has declined from 730 per 100,000 in 1999 to 675 per 100,000 today [September 2000]. Russia has been facing severe overcrowding in its penal facilities for many years, with inmates in pretrial detention sometimes waiting as long as several years for their cases to come to trial. In response to this crisis, the Russian Parliament approved an amnesty that has resulted in the release of 120,000 pretrial detainees and sentenced offenders. This reduced the inmate population to 980,000 as of September 2000." --Quote is from Sentencing Project news from September 2000:

*The MAJORITY of the 2 million U.S. inmates are incarcerated due to the drug war! The Drug-War Industrial Complex. The U.S. drug-war inmate MAJORITY is calculated by adding together inmates committing drug crimes, drug-related crimes (such as robbing to get money for drugs that are expensive because of the drug war), drug-related parole violations, etc..
