Ex-Argentine dictators jailed for baby thefts
MSNBC & news services:
Three key figures from Argentina’s “Dirty War” got hefty jail terms for the systematic theft of babies from political prisoners during the 1976-1983 dictatorship, an Argentine court ruled on Thursday.
The missing children — stolen from their parents and illegally adopted, often by military families — are one of the most painful legacies of the crackdown on leftist dissent in which rights groups say up to 30,000 people were killed.
Wikipedia’s account of the Dirty War is absolutely harrowing.
