So why did I list these names? These are the authenticated names of people who were either personally executed or ordered to be executed by Ernesto "Che" Guevara. There are plenty of other people who should be listed, but in the chaos of their "glorious" revolution, it is hard to obtain documents that can verify other executions that undoubtedly happened on the orders of Guevara.

This list comes from an article released by FrontPageMagazine. The impetus for the article is that there are two apparently fawning movies coming soon out of Hollywood about Che Guevara. One of these movies stars actor Benicio Del Toro, who does have an uncanny resemblance to Guevara.

As someone who has done extensive reading about the atrocities committed by Che Guevara, it will be interesting to see how much of his butchery is portrayed, and if it is, how it is explained. If his gleeful enthusiasm for executions is played out on the movie screen, I am willing to bet that the execution victims will be portrayed in a way that makes it look like they deserve it.

Of course, the tongue-clucking part of all this is that, as the article points out, many of the same people who love Che Guevara and wear his likeness on their chest, are often the same people who oppose capital punishment and fought to keep murderers like Tookie Williams from his date with the death chamber. Apparently, capital punishment is OK after all, as long as it is a greedy bourgeois capitalist who is getting a bullet in the head.

Good Day to You, Sir
