so letelier died almost immediately. then came the tragic story of ronni moffitt. she was not targeted but happened to be in the car with him. she stumbled out of the car. her husband was in the backseat, so he suffered minor cuts. he looked at her and she was stumbling away, so he figured she must be ok and went to go help orlando, who was in the driver seat and clearly is dying. he went around the front, tried to get orlando out and could not do it. there was, you know, jagged metal pieces everywhere, broken glass. the car had essentially imploded onto itself. he could not get the body out. eventually, he went to see his wife and realized at that point that a piece of shrapnel had exploded from the driver's seat and had cut her carotid artery, and she was essentially drowning in her own blood. both victims were immediately brought -- within a few minutes, there were police vehicles and ambulances all over the circle. we are just a few blocks away from dupont circle, so a lot of people could hear it. we are about a mile from the white house and state department, s

but you will love the surprise, orlando letelier insisted. isabel letelier acceded. after all, her husband was a charmer. it was time for orlando letelier to go to work. he had been at a leftist think tank for years, using a platform that undermined the ironfisted dictator who had overthrown the government of president salvador in day -- salvador in day -- president salvador allende. as a private citizen now, he exposed pinochet's human rights atrocities, incited boycotts, and discouraged investment. two of his colleagues happen to ride with him that day. michael and ronni moffitt, both 25, recently married. they waited while he showered and dressed and rushed out the door. isabel barely had time to kiss him goodbye. orlando took the wheel of his 1975 chevelle malibu classic. he opened -- michael opened the front passenger door for ronni and plopped himself in the backseat. in less than an hour, orlando and ronni would be dead. michael would be traumatized for life. this is the actual car after the bombing. i never learned what the surprise was, isabel recalled when

to put the hit on letelier. he never says the words "pinochet did it," but he says things like, "everything i did, i did because el jefe told me to do it. everything i did as the head of d.i.n.a." at some point, they even have a shouting match against this. pinochet saying, "no, no, no, i just gave you general directions to deal with subversives. i did not tell you to kill anyone." so it is not absolutely clear from those conversations and those shouting matches what contreras really meant. contreras' explanation for this particular crime was always the same. until he died, he said the cia did it, and michael townley was an agent of the cia, right? because that is a lie that anyone in south america would believe, either on the left or on the right. they would believe the cia is able to do these sorts of things, and of course, it is able to do it, and townley is an american, so it seems to make sense. but it does not make sense. it is not true. >> i have one last question. i just wanted to know what your personal

he was talking about the letelier assassination. on one hand, carter meant that such a brazen attack on the chilean dissident on u.s. soil was unacceptable to the u.s. policy-making apparatus, whether republican or democrat. it made the united states look unable to police its own borders. it made the cold war seem out of control. on the other hand, foreign policy makers were careful of pushing too hard. we were not against the chilean government. we were not against what the military had done, which means the overthrow. we were against the abuse of it and the terrorism that had been performed its in name. so it was often up to regular people like isabel letelier, michael moffitt and human rights organizations to pressure carter officials against the chileans. first to expel townley from chile, which proved successful, and second to extradite contreras and other chileans, which proved a failure. when pinochet once travelled to washington, carter met him in the oval office and brought up human rights, and his -- carter's determination

letelier fled to the u.s. after being tortured and incarcerated under pinochet's dictatorship. he was killed in a car bomb in washington, d.c., only a mile from the white house. the declassified documents also show pinochet was so concerned about covering up his role in ordering letelier's assassination that he also planned to assassinate his head of intelligence. the guardian has obtained data showing diesel cars from four major car manufacturers are emitting significantly more pollution on the road than in their regulatory tests. tests conducted by the company emissions analytics shows that models of mercedes-benz, honda, mazda and mitsubishi all emit far more toxic pollution than previously thought. this comes as volkswagen ceo michael horn apologized for the emissions cheating scandal in his testimony to congress thursday. >> on behalf of our company and my colleagues in germany and me personally, i would like to offer the sincere apology, sincere apology for volkswagen plus use of programs that suffered -- amy: the guardian reported similar revelations about higher polluti

children going to be reunited with their parents and the present the road blocks of this are not necessary letelier legal these children when they come in are supposed to be given a number let's assume that they are given a number that's a number that can enable them to be tracked the problem it seems to be is that the different agencies that have been involved the department of homeland security health and human services and other related agencies within their purview aren't necessarily able to share the information and haven't been sharing it as a matter of course and so they actually have to find these children and once they find them they have to find their parents for those parents who have been sent back home or deported this is not going to be necessarily an easy task in fact it's going to be it's going to take an awful lot of time and effort and so the biggest problem here is the lack of policy the lack of procedure the lack of a ministry of rules and regulations at a time when every single day that goes by harms these children more and more is to see some pretty heartbreaking pictures of a
