University professors like Mazin Qumsiyeh and the late Edward Said? Labor organizers like Astraea Kelly and Cesar Chavez? Religious leaders like Bishop Thomas Gumbleton and Rev. Graylan Hagler? Government figures like Ramsey Clark?

Yes, I see. These folks are such valuable contributors to society...

I see your point. They deserved to be murdered.

I see your point. They deserved to be murdered.

That's not his point at all. His point, and mine, was that most of the people killed by Pinochet were hard-core marxists who were seeking to impose a Stalinist government and murder all who didn't go along. You responded by implying that anyone who was a professor or union leader or a part of some clergy could not possibly fit that description. He then pointed out that there are plenty of professors and others that fit that description.

Q. What do you call 1,200 dead Marxist revolutionaries, executed by order of a general who has overthrown the elected president of his country using military force?

A. A good start.
