Suspect in Dirty War

Studying Argentina's Dirty War is sometimes pretty eerie. Recently a police officer (who is living in Spain) was arrested as a suspected kidnapper and murderer during the DirtyWar. "He is allegedly connected to 161 cases of kidnapping and torture, authorities said." The stories from the Dirty War are pretty unbelievable and because we are so far removed, they are sometimes difficult to really grasp. Knowing a torturer is being proscecuted and seeing his picture in present day makes the history of the Dirty War more tangible. Read the full story here.
