→Relative merits of Allende and Pinochet
This is tortured reasoning. This is the Salvadore Allende article. It terminates September 12 1970. It may be extended a few days thereafter regarding the mass killings in the soccer stadium because that is part of the story. Pinochet's role in the coup has not even been clearly defined or articulated. Yes, Pinochet was a subordinate, whether we can say he "led the coup" or not I am not certain at this point. Pinochet did emerge later as a successor. But discussing events 17 years after Allende's death in this article, to borrow a phrase from PF Fox, is revisionism. And not just revisionist thinking, it is revisionist methodology. [[User:RobS|RobS]] 12:17, 13 April 2007 (EDT)

:::Uh, no, Rob. Allende's term ended on September 11 1973 -- not 1970. And if we are going to include "a few days thereafter," then Jara's murder is definitely "part of the story", since it was within those few days that this prominent supporter of Allende was tortured in the stadium and murdered. --[[User:PF Fox|PF Fox]] 12:50, 13 April 2007 (EDT)
