Former Chilean military dictator Augusto Pinochet has died in a military hospital. Sadly, the spiritual leader of South American fascism avoided trial for his regime's myriad of human rights' abuses. Unlike the families of those killed mysteriously or 'disappeared' by the regime, Pinochet's family can engage in a proper burial.
But I suppose one can take solace in the fact that the end of his life was perhaps a tiny fraction as miserable as those tortured by his regime or those made 'disappeared' by his thugs.
