Summary: The homepage of Dr. Stallman looked like this on Saturday, 20 years since the September 11 attacks in the US, noting that "[t]oday we commemorate the September 11 attacks, which killed President Allende of Chile and installed Pinochet's murderous military dictatorship. More than 3,000 dissidents were killed or "disappeared" by the Pinochet regime. The USA operated a destabilization campaign in Chile, and the September 11, 1973, attacks were part of that campaign."
