Pinochet Not PC

See this brief article in MercoPress which reports the resignation of the Chilean ambassador to Argentina. He was ill-advised enough to publicly say uncritical things about the former Pinochet regime in Chile.

What Ambassador Otero said was likely true, but it is a truth that cannot be said on the record by public figures in Latin America. The United States isn't the only place experiencing political correctness.
