that's a load of

It was because he would've spilt the beans about the relationship with the UK, Margaret Thatcher and the selling of weapons and torture equipment to this total...well...bastard..
The same reasons that Saddam's trials were kept from the media..USA and the UK sold him the weapons to be able to commit the atrocities that he did..USA paid him to kill the Shah in 1960-something and he missed...and killed the prime minister...a later attempt was successful and Saddam was 'put' into power...
This is why we never let the scumbags face the music, simplybecause we and the US have had our grubby little paws all over it...Pinochet was no doubt 'let go' due to reasons of national security..more like the embaressment factor.
