Thought that this might be interesting in light of past discussion. quote: BUENOS AIRES, Apr 12 (IPS) - Two and a half decades after the Malvinas/Falkland Islands war, former Argentine soldiers have filed a collective lawsuit against officers for murder and torture of their own troops.... "What is most abhorrent and appalling is that this was like a planned extermination, because the Rattenbach Report (produced by a military commission presided over by an officer of that name, which investigated the conduct of the armed forces during the war) showed that the invasion was planned over a period of a year and a half," Pascua said....

It would be good if the threads focused on Argentina more, not just the Falklanders.Anyway in other news in Argentina: quote: Warrant for ex-Argentine leader Isabel Peron has been living in Spain since 1981 A second Argentine judge has issued an international arrest warrant for former President Isabel Peron. Mrs Peron, who lives in Spain, faces extradition over alleged links to a right-wing paramilitary group which operated during her 1974-1976 rule. The Anti-Communist Alliance, or Triple A, killed as many as 1,500 people in the 1970s, human rights groups say. Mrs Peron, 75, was briefly detained in Madrid last week over the disappearance of a leftist student activist in 1976. Federal Judge Norberto Oyarbide has ordered that Mrs Peron return to Argentina to answer questions about the government-linked death squad.
