  Chile The Trial of Henry Kissinger by Christopher Hitchins
On 15 October 1970, Kissinger was told of an extremist right-wing officer named General Roberto Viaux, who had ties to Patria y Libertad and who was willing to accept the secret US commission to remove General Schneider from the chessboard.
Then Mr Karamessines provided a run-down on Viaux, the Canales meeting with Tirado, the latter's new position [after Porta was relieved of command "for health reasons"] and, in some detail, the general situation in Chile from the coup possibility viewpoint.
Viaux was convicted on charges of kidnapping and of conspiring to cause a coup.

But the agency also had deep reservations about one plotter, retired Gen. Roberto Viaux, whose leadership of a coup would produce an "autocratic, nationalistic, military government which may not be particularly pro-U.S.," according to an Oct. 9, 1970, CIA memo that has since been declassified.
The CIA's Santiago station continued to talk to Viaux, and even to entertain his requests for an airdrop of weapons he could use in a coup attempt, until an Oct. 15 meeting between Kissinger and a top CIA official.
Viaux's henchmen assassinated Schneider on Oct. 22, 1970, and the CIA has had Schneider's blood on its hands ever since.

 Kissinger and Chile
The search for a military man brought the CIA station into contact with General Roberto Viaux, who had been cashiered from the Chilean army in 1969 for leading a revolt against the Christian Democratic government (ostensibly in protest over military salaries and benefits).
After subsequent discussion, the CIA decided Viaux was not a good bet, though it kept him on a long leash, disbursing some cash and even taking out an insurance policy on his life.
Viaux's people panicked and took flight, some discarding their arms near the scene of the crime.

Schneider had expressed firm opposition to the idea of preventing Allende's inauguration by means of a coup d'état; as a constitutionalist, he wished to preserve the military's apolitical history.
This incident and his death provoked national outrage, and caused the citizens and the military to rally behind the just-elected Allende, who was ratified by the Chilean Congress on October 24.
On September 10, 2001, his family filed a suit against former U.S. National Security Advisor and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, accusing him of collaborating with Viaux in arranging for Schneider's murder.
