In other legal news, the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington will hear arguments today in a case against Henry Kissinger. The former Secretary of State has been accused of conspiring with military officials in Chile to assassinate a Chilean General named Rene Schneider in 1970. Schneider’s death paved the way for the 1973 military coup led by General Augusto Pinochet. Schneider’s sons brought the suit against Kissinger claiming that declassified government documents show Kissinger’s complicity in their father’s death. Last year a lower court threw out the case but the appeals court will hear arguments today on whether the civil suit should go forward.
