Tracy,

>Hi Fernando, so this account (albeit somewhat lacking) of Brazil's history is untrue?

No, it tells about some facts, that really happened. What I posted in my message to Tom ("In the last few years there was heated discussions in the brazilian Congress about those, so called years of led", torture, murdering and US participation."), is that after the end of the military regime, many "new facts", that were hidden till that time, came to light, like the participation of the US government and the CIA in the start of the '64 military revollution.

Of course you don't ignore the interference of the US government supporting Latin America's dictatorships.

The history is told (written) by those that win the war. When you get rid of those "winners" eventually a new history may be told (or written).
