I recently watched The Judge and the General, a documentary about the bloody rise of the Pinochet regime in Chile (link below), and the recent legal action against it. I recall a particularly chilling moment when Pinochet declared (paraphrased): if you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear. Of course, thousands and thousands of people had everything to fear, and thousands lost their lives for the dubious crime of being left wing supporters of the ousted Allende regime. Some things only become 'crimes' in retrospect.
