Operation Condor - Argentine government officials brought to justice

The Buenos Aires Herald notes that 17 former officials -- "Antonio Domingo Bussi, Eduardo Albano Harguindeguy, Cristino Nicolaides, Luciano Benjamín Menéndez, Santiago Omar Riveros, Eduardo Daniel De Lío, Carlos Humberto Caggiano Tedesco, Ramón Genardo Díaz Bessone, Antonio Vañek, Juan Pablo Saá, Carlos Tragant, Bernardo Menéndez, Jorge Carlos Olivera Rovere, Antonio Guañabens Perelló, Carlos Landoni and Ernesto Arturo Alais ... are going to be judged for crimes against humanity committed in the framework of Operation Condor".

George Washington University's National Security Archive has recently additions to their collection on Operation Condor, specifically, Kissinger's green-lighting of the Argentine operations -- "If you can finish before Congress gets back, the better."
