Argentina makes arrests in 'flights of death' killings
Argentine authorities have arrested three former policemen in connection with what became known as flights of death during military rule.

They are accused of being the crew when French nun Leonie Duquet and rights activist Azucena Villaflor were thrown from a plane in 1977.

Their bodies washed ashore and were buried in an unmarked grave until their remains were identified in 2005.

Hundreds of political prisoners are known to have died this way.

1. How could anyone take part in an evil event like this?
What they have done to other human beings should never be forgotten. As evil in every way as anything the Nazis ever did.

Justice, we hope, at last, for these monsters. It's time they were required to seriously think about what they have done. Being right-wingers, they may be unable to manage thought, reflection, and matters of conscience.

Thanks, dipsydoodle. Rec.
