Only days before the US government and media launched their propaganda campaign over the capture of Saddam Hussein, the US State Department was obliged to release a set of 27-year-old, previously classified documents. These documents provide a revealing glimpse into the real attitude of successive US governments toward dictatorships and terror.

The documents concern a closed-door meeting in October, 1976 between then-US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and the foreign minister of the Argentine military dictatorship, Admiral Cesar Augusto Guzzetti. The documents were brought to light December 4 by the National Security Archive <http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB104/index.htm>, a non-governmental research institute that specializes in obtaining secret US government documents under the Freedom of Information Act and making them available to the public.
