Report
Orlando Letelier’s only crime was being part of and defending the legitimate government of Chile, that of Salvador Allende, his actions earning him a year long detention and severe torture. This didn’t break him or stop him, Orlando moved to the united states and became the most vocal and prominent chilean exile fighting against Pinochet’s rule, further incurring the wrath of the US backed dictator. The story that follows is one of the most overlooked acts of foreign terrorism in US history, terrorism that is tied to US interventionism in South  America.Special 48th anniversary commemorative episode.
