...reports were simply confirmation of things that many Chileans had known for years. This was simply the military's acknowledgment that these rumors were true. Most of the relatives of people killed that way are unhappy with the process. They want justice, not just the truth.

...strategy had been to get a peace agreement and make the election a referendum on peace, but he's not going to get a deal. At best he'll get a loose declaration on peace that may not even be signed, but may simply be read by Clinton. The object would be mostly to carry over some momentum to the Bush administration, getting them excited about prospects for peace rather than making the whole issue look like a hand grenade about to explode...
