The Vanished Gallery: The Desaparecidos of Argentina

"Desaparecidos is the Spanish word for "The Disappeared." For thousands of Argentine families, this word has become a symbol of a long harrowing nightmare."

"In a coup on March 24, 1976, a military junta seized power in Argentina and went on a campaign to wipe out left-wing terrorism with terror far worse than the one they were combating. Between 1976 and 1983 - under military rule - thousands of people, most of them dissidents and innocent civilians unconnected with terrorism, were arrested and then vanished without a trace."

A little history lesson in what happens when governments get out of control. This can be considered a warning for today, as our (U.S) government fights to retain the "right" to cause disappearances internally and externally, in our crusade on terror, as mentioned in the previous post;
