in the news....

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.
