In today’s Washington Post there is an article entitled Argentina puts officials on trial over the abuses of the ‘Dirty War’ and it tells of the long awaited prosecution of the top henchmen who tortured perhaps 30,000 people, often killing them, in Argentina’s "Dirty War" of 1976-1983. Argentinian families had to wait decades for justice, but apparently it is coming to them now at least in some small measure. The military more or less orchestrated all this.
What do you think? Government supported torture? Government mandated killings? People thrown out of airplanes for political affiliation? Secret prisons? Threats to the victims delivered by military people to shut up or be killed? Hmmmm!
Do you think we might have anything to learn from the Argentine justice system? Just asking.
