>All this is some 30 years ago, but it is likely that some of the culprits are still at large. In Bolivia, that may, or may not, include some members of Banzer's party (Banzer died, in the meantime). In the U.S., that would include a guy who received a Nobel peace prize, and who will probably die before the World can bring him to justice. Similar in other countries; for example, in Chile and Argentina, the culprits had a strong influence in government until recently.
