Brazilians Get Ready to Dig Up the Truth(ON US BACKED COUP IN 60'S AND BEYOND)BUT WAIT,THERE IS A''CATCH'' http://upsidedownworld.org/main/news-briefs-archives-68/3275-brazilians-get-ready-to-dig-up-the-truth  The bill to establish a National Truth Commission in Brazil, which has made it through the lower house of Congress and is now in the Senate, is considered at least a start in clarifying, and preventing a repetition of, the abuses committed during the country's 21-year dictatorship.The CNV will not have the power to punish those responsible for human rights violations committed during the 1964-1985 de facto regime, and its conclusions will not give rise to court cases.During the dictatorship, 475 people were forcibly disappeared, 50,000 imprisoned, and at least 20,000 tortured, according to official figures.The CNV will cover the period from 1946 to 1988, despite pressure from human rights groups and the families of victims of the dictatorship, who want it to merelyapply to the 21-year dictatorial regime, in order to avoid a dispersion of efforts.
