re: #46 Charles
That’s an interesting take on it, possibly with some merit. On the other hand, there’s little doubt that all these dictators, semi-dictators, and possibly reforming semi-dictators were in constant contact, and an official US cable to one would be assumed to immediately leak to the others — so a warning to Uruguay not to support Condor would be a warning to all of them.
We really need to find out if warnings were sent directly to Argentina and Chile, which were very much the senior partners in Condor.
I’ll go back to digging.
