2. Good grief! Had no idea this happened at the hands of Gen. Bignone.

Have wondered for years why it is the government has never acknowledged murdering tens of thousands of human beings.

Just went to look for a photo of him so I could more properly revile him mentally, and was startled to see I recognized his face instantly, as I looked for it before, when he was on trial for war crimes, belatedly, of course, during Cristina Fernández de Kirchner's Presidency, as no one prior to The Kirchners would have considered allowing this dictator to go to trial. Isn't it creepy fascists always arrange things before resigning so no one can find them responsible for their crimes, in most places? Horrible.





So glad to see your comment about the pressure President Jimmy Carter applied to the dictatorship, especially with the knowledge that Henry Kissinger had been a constant supporter when Republicans were in power here.

Thank you for the info.

(I did see Gen. Bignone went ahead and died, which I had forgotten if I ever knew at all. He did enough damage for more than one lifetime, clearly.)
