In Ann Coulter's September 17th column, she condemns the editor of the New York Times as a "traitor" because the editorial on the issue commemorating the second-year anniversary of September 11th equated the tragic deaths of September 11th to General Pinochet's coup in Chile in 1973. The New York Times called this 1973 coup "September 11." Ann Coulter claims that the New York Times is saying that "We deserved it," simply because Salvador Allende, a democratically elected Marxist leader of Chile "deserved it" when the Presidential Office was bombed in a coup. Allende had previously invited Castro to his country, and was therefore "evil." Never mind the CIA involvement in this murderous coup, the very fact that Coulter takes the enourmous leap from "Allende derserved it" therefore "we deserved it," is the biggest slander of all. Do you want to know why the New York Times said that this 1973 coup was Chile's September 11th? BECAUSE IT HAPPENED ON SEPTEMBER 11TH, 1973. Ann Coulter, you should be ashamed.
