When Too Much Torture Is Barely Enough

The BBC reported this week that the Argentine armed forces may have tortured their own soldiers during the Falklands War. The BBC was reporting on an investigation of eighty cases of abuse of conscripts by their officers, including murder and causing death by starvation.

I guess that when Kissinger and the CIA were helping Videla’s Junta prosecute their Dirty War, they forgot to mention that it is normal practice to torture the other guys.

Oooops.
