You are being very naïve if you think Chilean legislature had no idea of the impending coup. As for the lack of evidence, I tried to find some and came back empty handed. If there were anything even distantly resembling the systematic use of violence Pinochet employed made by the Allende regime, I'm quite sure it would be amply documented by now, if, by no independent historians, by the Chilean military. Since I can't prove it didn't happen, do you have anything more solid than this to demonstrate it did?
