During the 1970s and 1980s, right-wing military dictatorships in South America kidnapped, tortured, killed, and forcibly disappeared tens of thousands of political activists and participants in movements for social justice. They are remembered each May during the International Week of the Disappeared. These atrocious human rights violations were perpetrated through a CIA sponsored counterintelligence program known as Operation Condor. In today's edition of "Imaginary Lines", program host Michael Fox interviews John Dinges, author of "The Condor Years: How Pinochet and His Allies Brought Terrorism to Three Continents". Dinges, who was a correspondent in Chile in the 1970s and is currently a professor at the Colombia University Graduate School of Journalism, explains the dynamics of the brutal and in his words, "bone-chilling" extralegal repression. Also, spotlight on media coverage of alleged Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) training of Mexican drug cartels and the West's response to the humanitarian crisis resulting from African migration to Europe. teleSUR
