re: #60 HappyWarrior

I had to read about that when I took Latin American history in the spring of 2010. It was horrifying. The Processo Regime would kidnap men and women off the street. Force women to give birth in captivity and then give the children to a family friendly to the regime or military family. The mothers of many of those kidnapped started a foundation to help find the children. I was very happy when Videla got convicted recently. It’s just too bad that those guys weren’t prosecuted immediately after the regime’s fall. It’s akin to high ranking Nazis being let to roam free until the 1960’s.

Jorge Videla is sitting in jail again. 50 years and he will finally die in prison. I say again because that piece of shit Menem pardoned him in 1990 after being in jail for only 5 years.
