		<description>&lt;p&gt;A 27-YEAR-OLD woman today became the 90th person to find out she was a victim of kidnapping during Argentina’s notorious “dirty war” (1976-1983), a rights group said.&lt;br /&gt;
Laura Ruiz Dameri was matched by DNA testing to her biological parents, Silvia Dameri and Orlando Ruiz, who were kidnapped and killed as members of the leftist Montoneros by the military dictatorship ruling Argentina at the time, the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The group said Ms Dameri was the 90th person to discover her past, out of an estimated 500 children who were abducted during that time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ms Dameri was born in captivity and turned over to adoption to coast guard officer Antonio Azic. Her two older siblings, Marcelo and Maria, also separated from their parents, were found in 1989 and 2000 living in two different cities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The case of the Ruiz Dameri family is perhaps one of the most emblematic of Argentina’s missing, because the three children were deliberately removed to different parts of the country to prevent the family from reuniting ever again,”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,23776534-23109,00.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.news.com.au/heralds.....09,00.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wonder if the same thing happened in Guatemala?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;KIRSTINE LUMB: Every week for the past 30 years, the mothers of Argentina have marched for their missing children — Los Desaparecidos, they call them, the Disappeared. When the military staged a coup in Argentina in 1976, up to 30-thousand people simply vanished in a crackdown on suspected leftists. While the adults were rounded up and executed many of their children also disappeared, placed for adoption, often with the families of their military tormentors. The Argentine military wasn’t working alone, they joined forces with similar regimes in South America under Operation Condor. They also had the blessing of the United States.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DR PETER ROSS (LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES UNSW): Henry Kissinger as the Secretary of State made it quite clear to the Argentina military that they could go ahead with the Dirty War, he just told them, get it over with as quick as you can because it doesn’t play too well, humans rights violations don’t play too well in the United States.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://sunday.ninemsn.com.au/sunday/cover_stories/transcript_2046.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://sunday.ninemsn.com.au/s.....t_2046.asp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Lefties get Disappeared the Governments of South America and the School for the Americas start killing even white American Nuns Pat Buchanan and Laura Ingraham must be horrified. I’m sure that they are leaving the church of Saint Reagen now.&lt;br /&gt;
    Yeah and John Paul can’t do enough to free Poland but hey let the Brown People suffer. I’m sure Pat and Laura have plenty to say after all Laura’s kid is going to ask about all this stuff one day kids can find all kinds of things on the net.&lt;br /&gt;
    A Guatemalan adoptee will google Guatemala a Guatemalan kid will find other brown kids who will have stories of their country. Nobody has a good thing to say about Laura’s hero Reagen in South America.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;General Efrain Rios Montt, a graduate of the School of the Americas (SOA), at Fort Benning, Georgia, came to power in a 1982 coup. Praised as a “born-again” Christian reformer, in truth he was one of the most savage of Guatemalan dictators. His “Beans and Rifles” program was designed to keep guerrillas out of Indian villages — beans for those who cooperated, rifles for those who didn’t. He declared a “state of siege”, and on television, he stated that he had “declared a state of siege so that we could kill legally”. He banned public meetings, suspended the constitution, replaced elected officials, and censored the press. He also instituted Civil Defense Patrols (PACs) to control the population.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rios Montt moved the war from urban centers to the countryside where “the spirit of the lord” guided him against “communist subversives’, mostly indigenous Indians. As Guatemalans suffered torture, kidnappings, and massacres at the hands of the government, he presented himself as the savior of the population. Using the lessons he had learned at the SOA, he implemented a “pacification” program similar to that used by the US in Vietnam, intended to give the impression that the government wanted to reestablish democracy in the country. In reality, as the “pacification” program moved from village to village, it essentially established concentration camps populated by those who had been able to survive the massacres and political genocide which the government itself carried out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During the 17 months of Rios Montt’s “Christian” campaign, 400 villages were destroyed, 10 - 20,000 Indians were killed, and over 100,000 fled to Mexico. Early in 1983, President Reagan resumed military shipments to Guatemala, claiming that Montt’s program against the guerrilla insurgency was working. He said that Montt was given a “bum rap” on human rights.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;A U.S. nun who worked with victims of violence in Guatemala was shot dead in what appears to be a politically motivated murder, said human rights activists in Guatemala.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This was during the civil war, which lasted 36 years and in which more than 200,000 — most of them unarmed Maya Indians at the hands of an unbridled army — died or “disappeared,” according to a 1998 UN-sponsored Truth Commission report.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Priests and lay Catholic leaders were killed. Nuns hid children who had escaped massacres, and ministered to spiritual and physical needs, especially in rural areas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1141/is_2_37/ai_75247916&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://findarticles.com/p/arti.....i_75247916&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wonder if Laura got one of those kids who were saved by the Nuns?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Brave is a good word.&lt;br /&gt;
Not perfect by any means - heck, where are we going to find a “near-perfect” or even “not particularly” Progressive candidate that can win?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So this is what we have. I am not disappointed, given the alternatives. But the second he reaches across the aisle, we have to be ready for it. Cause he will.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
