I found this to be eye opening and perspective inducing:
Solis charged that Pinochet was responsible in 36 cases of "forced disappearances," a murder and 23 cases of torture committed in the jail.

36 disappearances?
1 murder??!!??
23 cases of torture?
That's it!?! That's all they need to try (and likely convict ) this inhuman monster? This is what constitutes a torture trial?
OK, then I guess convicting Bush Jr. and Cheney should take all of 15 minutes, right?
Pinochet, 90, has lost the immunity he enjoys as a former de facto ruler of Chile on several occasions, but has never stood trial for any of the 3,000 cases of deaths and torture committed, according to an official count.
Pinochet, who ruled with an iron fist between 1973 and 1990, is also under investigation for alleged tax evasion and fraud following the discovery of previously undeclared bank accounts in the United States. He is under house arrest.
Villa Grimaldi, the name given a former mansion in Santiago was a torture center from 1973 until 1978 run by Pinochet's feared secret police, DINA.
5 years. They only had the torture facility open for 5 years?!?
We've already matched that! And we will exceed it!
OK. So here's Bush/Cheney's record:
The list of those thought to be held by the CIA include suspected al-Qaeda members Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Nurjaman Riduan Isamuddin, Ramzi Binalshibh and Abu Zubaydah. The total number of ghost detainees is presumed to be at least one hundred, although the precise number cannot be determined because fewer than 10% have been charged or convicted.

At least 100 disappeared, certainly more.
WASHINGTON -- At least 21 detainees who died while being held in U.S. custody in Iraq and Afghanistan were killed, many during or after interrogations, according to an analysis of Defense Department data by the American Civil Liberties Union.

At least 21 murdered, certainly more.
And the torture?
Please... thousands of Arabs have been tortured by George Bush and Dick Cheney.
Washington has, for the first time, acknowledged to the United Nations that prisoners have been tortured at US detention centres in Guantanamo Bay, as well as Afghanistan and Iraq, a UN source said.

Bush Jr. and Dick Cheney are War Criminals. Pinochet isn't half the criminal these men are.
And that's all there is. There doesn't need to be any more in order to put these two criminals behind bars for the rest of their filthy lives.
