Unit 11: Missing
Blog prompt 2: Imagine that you're an attorney for the US, attempting to disprove any complicity on the part of the US government in the 1973 death of Charles Horman during the coup in Chile.
1. Charles Horman was pursuing his inquiries independently and of his own choosing.
2. Charles Horman was in a dangerous place and had made his own choice to be in the region.
3. The US government is not responsible for any misadventure that a private individual encounters under these circumstances.
4. The US government was not involved in any direct or indirect way in the circumstances that surrounded the death of Charles Horman. (Clearly, this argument would have been made prior to the release of relevant declassified documents in October. 1999.)
