However, there is a question of proportion here. Even using the figures put out by the "human rights groups" there were only 30,000 murdered by the government in this war. There may have been almost 1,000 times as many killed by the Commies in the USSR.
Where are the calls for "justice" against those who committed these crimes?
Also, the government in this case was fighting a vicious Marxist insurgency. At least some of those killed actually were guilty of murder and treason, by any logical definition of the terms.

They have their own dirty laundry to take care of.
No argument. However, this article was on CNN, which I believe is a US network, not an Argentine source. How many times have you seen calls on mainstream American media for investigation and/or punishment of those guilty of atrocities in Communist countries?
Instead, we track down senile men in their 80s and 90s who may have worked as gatekeepers in Nazi camps and pat ourselves on the back for our courageous refusal to compromise with evil.
