South American paranoia...

...apparently just can't keep pace with current events.

DangerRoom has a story that would get laughed out of any publisher's office.

And, apparently Chilean history as well.

A dead president. Poison perfume and a mad scientist who may or may not have faked his own death.

Freaky. For starters.
