Excellent point, Eric ... sadly, CNN only gives me like 1200 words and wants a 'theme' (it is after all a 'column') ... wasn't a real obit like the 15,000+ word opus Sanger did for The NYT !!

Very nuanced. I can't forgive him for Pinochet but you've really driven home why it's important not to make blanket judgments about complex people.
