US embassy cable - 05SANTIAGO1664

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: MEDIA REACTION - ATOMIC BOMB 
 
On August 5, center-left "Diario Siete" (circ. 23,000) 
ran an editorial entitled, "The Hiroshima Barbarism." 
Quote: 
 
"The argument that the atomic bomb prevented a Japanese 
invasion and shortened the war is an alibi to attenuate 
the impact of a slaughter that should be tried with 
equal rigor to that with which humanity judges the Nazi 
massacres. A crime is a crime."
