1. It's not like we have a history of assassination

She may be correct.

2. Greg Palast says Kirchner stood up . . .

to Paul Singer's effort to extort money from Argentina. Maybe this is about payback?

3. She sounds like an idiot

from what Argentinians have told me. Americans have to pay $160 to get in the country and it must be paid before you get or land there.

4. "Utterly preposterous!", said the ghost of Salvador Allende.

5. "THE FAMILY" may be looking to get one of their own in down there. I'd say this is PLAUSIBLE!

6. Wouldn't surprise me at all...

her and Maduro. Our meddling in Latin America's affairs seems to have no end...

7. Interesting how Pakman seems to dismiss her

Based on my sketchy understanding of Argentina politics, she seems to be the furthest to the left, which would naturally put her in the American crosshairs. (If there is anything we hate in this country as much as communism, it's populism!)

Also, Kirchner embarrassed the U.S. following the referendum in Crimea when she made a connection to the Malvinas (aka the Falklands).

8. It's more likely her own people are plotting against her. She might try staying home

nights, rather than hanging out at the clubs 'til all hours and rolling into work at 11am.

9. This Pakman sounds like an ignorant buffoon. n/t

10. Packman's personal vitriol against her seem way over-the-top here.

They remind me of right-wing radio pundits. This is character assassination, not unbiased journalism. Who are they carrying water for here?
