Guess what? Fires of hell have to wait a little longer for Pinochet

This is, I think, the fourth time in the last four or so years that Pinochet’s doctors have discovered an illness that gives him days to live, each time conveniently just before he’s due to appear in court in relation to crimes committed by him and his regime:

But the general’s son, Marco Antonio Pinochet, said the explanation was that because of his father’s poor health he had a full-time nurse and an ambulance standing by.
This meant he was able to get to hospital in minutes, he said, where a cardiologist was on duty and able to treat him quickly.
“If he’d got there five minutes later he would have died,” he told a local radio station.

Yeah, right.
