35 years ago today, Salvador Allende, the democratically elected president of Chile died a hero, defending his office against Fascists.
 
The CIA-instigated coup was the beginning of a reign of terror in Chile which saw thousands of people dead, tortured and exiled.

ah yes another low point in US foreign policy and something that has never really been publicly known or taught. most people don't know these dirty little stories.
