Also, those claiming to have no source on Powell being on the team that negotiated Pinochet’s release, only prove they’ve not only not actually gone looking for one, but haven’t even read op article, where the source is linked:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/jan/07/chile.pinochet
And it isn’t the only contemporary source, either:

As well as sources that confirms that Powell promoted deals with Saudi Arabia for a company that also paid £1m to Pinochet:

You can make as many excuses as you want to make yourselves feel better, but it will never magic these people in to being on our side as citizens.
Thank you.
The guardian article is also the second result for “Jonathan Powell pinochet” on google.
Sure thing, the lengths some people will go to to defend their cognitive dissonance is ridiculous…
For fuck sake.
Not a good look Keir.
It’s the only look he’s got.
Germany’s ruling coalition falling apart; trump winning; macron caucusing with the far right instead of the election winners; Italy’s civil rights regression with its new far right govt; and now this makes me think that we’re in for a wild ride in the West for the next few decades and I wonder if I should try to leave now or wait until the shooting starts.
Never forget 9/11/73
Why would a PM who saved his party from a popular leftist movement have sympathy for Pinochet? It makes no sense.
