For this blog I will assume the role of attorney for the Horman family. I will be bringing a case against the US government for its alleged role or complicity in the death of Charles Horman in Chile in 1973. I will briefly summarize the case by listing 3–5 key arguments to be made in court on behalf of your client.

After pouring over numerous documents, witness accounts, and declassified information, the following arguments will show that the United States Government played a role in the death of Charles Horman.

1. Charles Horman went to Chile in 1972 with his wife, Joyce. When they arrived in Chile President Allende, a socialist, was in office. The Horman's were there to peacefully learn about the country of Chile.

2. In September 1973 there was a coup by General Augusto Pinochet and President Allende committed suicide. Pinochet was anti-communist and a conservative dictator. Horman had a more liberal ideology.

3. In 1973 Nixon, Kissinger, and other US officials feared communism expansion in South America and saw that the coup in Chile to be positive for US political purposes. The US supported, although not officially, covert operatives working towards the implementation of the Pinochet regime.

4. Rafael Gonzalez, a retired security official from Chile, stated that he was witness to meetings discussing Hormans destiny due to the fact that Horman, "knew too much." This information first came available in a 1976 story appearing in The Washington Post.

5. Peter Kornbluh discovered documents while working as a senior analyst at the National Security Archive. What Kornbluh found clearly indicates that US Intelligence played a role in the death of Horman.

The evidence from above will clearly show that the United States Government had a role in and clearly had knowledge of the death of Charles Horman and willfully denied any responsibility in the matter.
