SUBJECT:  CHILE MEDIA REPORT:  NOVEMBER 29-DECEMBER 1 
 
Lead Stories 
------------ 
1.  Chile's front pages focused on the tense relations between Chile 
and Peru over the inflammatory remarks of Peru's Army 
Commander-in-Chief, which appeared on YouTube, and how the financial 
crisis is hurting growth in an array of sectors nationwide. 
 
U.S.-Related News 
----------------- 
2.  In her visit to Chile in March 2008, Secretary of State 
Condoleezza Rice reiterated the U.S. government's concern with the 
lack of progress in the investigation over the disappearance of 
American mathematician Boris Weisfeiler, who vanished near the 
German enclave Colonia Dignidad in 1985.  The USG has consistently 
asked for information on the case since the probe began in 2000.  In 
meetings with members of the Weisfeiler family, President Bachelet 
expressed her commitment to do "everything possible" to resolve the 
case (La Tercera, conservative, independent, Sun. circ. 222,084, 
11/30). 
 
3.  Coverage of Fundacion Paz Ciudadana's annual event included a 
photograph of Ambassador Simons with the entity's Executive Director 
Andres Baytelman and its President Agustin Edwards (El Mercurio, 
conservative, influential newspaper-of-record, Sun.  circ. 260,108, 
11/30). 
 
4.  U.S. Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Gary Roughead, will 
arrive in Chile this week to participate in the International Naval 
Fair and Conference, Exponaval 2008, in Valparaiso (Estrategia, 
 
business and financial daily, circ. 30,000, 12/10). 
 
5. The book "Legacy of Ashes: The CIA Story," written by journalist 
Tim Weisner, was launched in Chile.  The book includes discussions 
among U.S. intelligence officers and data on CIA activities in Chile 
in the 60s and 70s (La Segunda, conservative, afternoon, circ. 
33,000, 11/29). 
 
Chile-Peru Impasse 
------------------ 
6. Peruvian Commander-in-Chief General Edwin Donayre said in a 
private reception earlier this year:  "Be assured that we will not 
let anyone from our southern neighbor (Chile) cross (into Peru). 
Our position is that any Chilean who crosses will leave in a box, 
and if there are not enough boxes, in plastic bags."  His remarks 
were posted on YouTube. 
 
7.  Chile reacted immediately by demanding that Peru retire the 
Peruvian General.  Bachelet said Peruvian President Alan Garcia had 
phoned her to apologize and to inform her that the general would be 
retired immediately.  On Friday, Foreign Minister Foxley called on 
his Peruvian counterpart demanding Lima to act on the President's 
promise.  The following day, President Garcia was quoted in the 
press saying, "Peru does not take pressure or orders from anyone 
outside Peru."  In the absence of any action regarding Donayre, 
Chile informed Peru that the scheduled visit of its defense minister 
to the international Naval fair, Exponaval, this week, would be 
considered untimely.  Peruvian Foreign Minister Garcia said that 
Bachelet misunderstood President Garcia, and that when he referred 
to Donayre's retirement he was talking about the General's official 
retirement date, which is December 5.  Meanwhile, General Donayre is 
quoted saying that "as a soldier who loves" his country, he does not 
regret his remarks (All dailies 11/30-12/1). 
 
8.  Chile's reaction to military commander Edwin Donayre's clumsy 
remarks... could be considered disproportionate.  But one must look 
at the wider context of Peru's decision to challenge its maritime 
border with Chile and to take that issue to the International Court 
of The Hague....  Chile views this as an attempt to modify the 
status quo that both countries have accepted and under which they 
have coexisted for almost eighty years....  Donayre's remarks 
probably reflect what many other military officers think about an 
eventual invasion, but those at higher levels of command must have 
the good sense not to offend their neighbors.  The severity of 
Donayre's comments are not so much in the words, but rather on their 
impact in the complex and bipolar Chile-Peru relationship (La 
Nacion, government-owned, editorially independent, Sun. circ. 
16,200, 11/30). 
9.  Peruvian analyst Mirko Lauer: "Need determines if something is 
justified or not and the truth is that in this case Chile has the 
attitude of 'not willing to let it slip by'" (La Tercera, 12/1). 
 
10.  Peruvian President Alan Garcia ordered the return of a frigate 
navigating to Chile, which would show that he has no intention of 
calling General Donayre to retirement before his official retirement 
date (El Mercurio, conservative, influential, newspaper-of-record, 
Sun. circ. 260,108, 11/30). 
 
11.  The Peruvian government is not comfortable with the impasse 
caused by Donayre's remarks and has prompted the General not to talk 
about the issue (La Nacion, 11/30). 
 
Local 
----- 
12.  President Bachelet appointed three new regional Intendentes: 
PPD Igor Garafulic to the Metropolitan Region, DC Pablo Valenzuela 
to the Region of Tarapaca, and the current Ambassador to Cuba, PS 
Jaime Toha, to the Bio Bio Region.  The latter leaves the Chilean 
Embassy in Havana with no Ambassador just a month before Bachelet is 
due to travel to the island (El Mercurio, Sat. circ. 173,049, 
11/29). 
 
Education: Low English Scores 
----------------------------- 
13.  The Catholic University tested its freshmen class to determine 
their level of English.  Only 30 percent of private non-bilingual 
school students and 10% of public school students passed the test. 
Private schools have 3-10 hours of English a week and public schools 
just two (La Tercera, conservative, independent, Sun. circ. 222,084, 
11/30). 
 
Editorials/commentary 
--------------------- 
14.  Elizabeth Subercaseux:  "Anyone visiting the United States 
today can readily see that something is seriously amiss....  The 
United States has an invisible and powerless President and his 
successor has his hands tied until January 20 as its economy, the 
world's most important one, walks on the edge of the abyss.  The 
decisions taken or not in the next days will determine whether the 
planet's economic engine stops or continues to move" (La Nacion, 
11/30). 
 
15.  Column by international analyst Libardo Buitrago entitled, "The 
Fight against Terrorism": 
 
"The brutal terrorist attack in Bombay... brings to mind the worst 
images of a raw truth: those radical groups want to alter the normal 
path of our nations.  However, we have been unable to build an 
overall consensus to lower the threat of this scourge....  It's as 
if the terror attacks on a number of cities -- New York, London, 
Madrid, Bali, Istanbul -- are just numbers....  A full war (on 
terrorism) calls for the participation of the largest possible 
number of nations" (Diario Financiero, business and financial daily, 
circ. 30,000, 12/1).
