Great News from South America -Former Argentinian Military Dictator sentenced to
25 years in prison
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8633823.stm
<snip>
Argentina's former military ruler Reynaldo Bignone has been sentenced to 25 years for human rights abuses committed almost three decades ago.

Gen Bignone, 82, ordered abductions and torture while second in command of the country's largest torture centre between 1978 and 1979.

Relatives of victims held up photos of their loved ones and cheered at the end of the trial in Buenos Aires.

Six officials from the same era were also handed jail terms.

Gen Bignone, who served as de facto president between 1982-83, was found guilty of involvement in 56 cases of murder, torture and kidnappings.

His charges were for crimes committed before becoming leader, when he was in charge of the notorious Campo de Mayo military base.

Bravo mothers of Argentina. Take note Bushco!!! It may take decades but you will pay for torture and war crimes.
