Impunity scored a rare win over its evil twin immunity today.
Former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet has been indicted for human rights abuses and placed under house arrest, according to the BBC. The investigating judge Juan Guzman also ruled that the general was mentally fit to stand trial.
Judge Guzman said he made his decision after studying an interview that Gen Pinochet gave to a Miami TV channel in November 2003.
He said that the interview, in which the general gave apparently lucid answers to questions, was "one of the elements taken into consideration" in his ruling.

Yeah, my Chilean Women Studies professor is exstatic over this. We spent like a whole day watching a video of how the women's movement there was based around the mother's of the missing & stuff.
