If we didn't need further reminder of how current the issues of dictatorship, and of the AMIA bombing in 1994, remain in Argentine society, these two issues were on the front page today: President Cristina Kirchner calling on Iran to release those suspected of masterminding the AMIA bombing; and another announcing the capture of one of those suspected of flying the Vuelos de la Muertos -- "death flights" -- that originated at ESMA. He was working happily as an employee of a Dutch airline but was apprehended while on a stop in Valencia, Spain, which has a strong law concerning crimes against humanity. Argentina hopes to extradite him here for trial.
