UN: Financial Inequality Rapidly Grows in US

The website Huffington Post has revealed John McCain traveled to Chile
in 1985 to have a private meeting with Chilean dictator General
Augusto Pinochet.

According to a declassified US embassy cable, McCain described the
meeting with Pinochet as "friendly and at times warm"

At the time of the meeting, the US Justice Department was seeking the
extradition of two close Pinochet associates for an act of terrorism
in Washington, D.C., the 1976 assassination of former Foreign Minister
Orlando Letelier and his colleague Ronni Moffitt.

During his trip to Chile, McCain made no public or private statements
critical of the dictatorship, nor did he meet with members of the
democratic opposition in Chile.
