→Reverted citations: give em an inch, and they still sacrifice facts for naked propaganda
<references/>
<references/>
Reasons for reversion: (1) no where in the cited CNN link does the name "Pinochet" appear to support the statement "lead by [[Augusto Pinochet]]"; (2) a citation to CNN is highly suspect, in that CNN '''did not''' exist in 1973. Yes, I recognize this '''does not''' come from CNN Archives. Nevertheless, CNN Archives has extenisve material on [[Watergate]], and CNN '''did not''' exist at the time of Watergate. Hence this organization has gambled away some of its own credibility on historical reporting and all citations to it are suspect. [[User:RobS|RobS]] 13:53, 13 April 2007 (EDT)

Further, the reference to [[Eduardo Frei Montalva]] makes no sense. Who is "he", Allende or Pinochet? And the reference to Jara was written as such,
:''The CIA's involvement in the coup was vigorously protested...as were the appalling human rights violations committed ....among them the murder of ... [[Victor Jara]].''
What is this refering to? The murder of Jara by those conducting the coup, or leftist protesting CIA's involvement in the murder of Jara? So if CIA was not invovled in the murder of Jara, it appears the murder of Jara was ok with 'leftists". This is just ridiculous naked propagandizng and not a very sincere effort to write an historical narrative. This page may have to be locked one more time. [[User:RobS|RobS]] 14:00, 13 April 2007 (EDT)
