Reply #1: Good grief! This man had ALREADY been tortured by the right-wing idiots EARLIER. [View All]

More from the article:

Gérez, who has accused a former police chief of torturing him during the 1966-1973 dictatorship, was released shortly after President Nestor Kirchner told the nation that former security agents from past military regimes were believed to be behind his disappearance.

Kirchner said former agents were also responsible for the disappearance of Julio López, a witness in another rights case who has been missing since Sept. 18.

The president said former agents sought to intimidate potential witnesses in several pending legal cases stemming from the so-called ``dirty war'' waged by the military rulers against suspected subversives.

Since two amnesty laws were annulled last year, the courts have called 250 active and former military and police officers for questioning.

Interior Minister Aníbal Fernández said Kirchner's speech contributed to Gérez's release.

``I think the kidnappers felt they were surrounded,'' he said. ``The president identified them very clearly, so they felt at risk. The kidnapping of Gérez had a clear message -- do not keep investigating.''

Even Argentina's very own President Kirchner was tortured by the military coup which was supported whole heartedly by Henry Kissinger. (Don't forget Michelle Bachelet, CHILE'S PRESIDENT was ALSO TORTURED by a Nixon/Kissinger engineered coup President Pinochet)

Kissinger approved Argentinian 'dirty war'


Declassified US files expose 1970s backing for junta

Henry Kissinger gave his approval to the "dirty war" in Argentina in the 1970s in which up to 30,000 people were killed, according to newly declassified US state department documents.
Mr Kissinger, who was America's secretary of state, is shown to have urged the Argentinian military regime to act before the US Congress resumed session, and told it that Washington would not cause it "unnecessary difficulties".

The revelations are likely to further damage Mr Kissinger's reputation. He has already been implicated in war crimes committed during his term in office, notably in connection with the 1973 Chilean coup.

The material, obtained by the Washington-based National Security Archive under the Freedom of Information Act, consists of two memorandums of conversations that took place in October 1976 with the visiting Argentinian foreign minister, Admiral César Augusto Guzzetti. At the time the US Congress, concerned about allegations of widespread human rights abuses, was poised to approve sanctions against the military regime.
According to a verbatim transcript of a meeting on October 7 1976, Mr Kissinger reassured the foreign minister that he had US backing in whatever he did.

He reportedly does not travel abroad without consulting his lawyers about the possibility of his arrest.
