    They didn't even discuss Argentina, you muppet, Hector.

    It was serious people talking about serious stuff.

    It is you Hector, and your beloved President that was trying to do a deal with the Iranians that sold the victims of the AIMA bombing down the river. And in order to protect yourselves you 'suicided' the prosecutor looking into the case.

    Stop trying to score 'brownie' points by 'leaking' your letter to every news agency that will listen.

    @1 CFK and Timmmerman are looking for a way out of their awkward obligation to investigate their partners in crime.

    You can sense from his last paragraph that he wanted to mention his beloved “Malvinas” but chose not to.

    What a fool timerplonk is. Various sanctions were imposed by various governments vis a vis Iran's refusal to comply with the world's demands that it prove that it was not attempting to create nuclear weapons. And the plonk wants to know if Interpol will remove a criminal from its wanted list? Even the text of the letter is a joke. When has argieland been committed to justice, the fight against terrorism or respect for human rights? Justice for the Falkland Islanders. The end of argie terrorism against Falklanders. How does argieland respect the human rights of a people it says doesn't exist? All he had to ask was “Does your deal affect our AMIA cover-up in any way”?

    I cannot imagine anybody who has just been through serious surgery, for liver cancer no less, would be capable of writing even this poorly thought out point scoring exercise: they would still be in hospital.

    my two family members who died of this cancer most certainly would not have had the energy.

    So Filmus it is then, OR, it's a hoax like TMBOA Turkey Neck operation.

    As soon as you read the 'open letter' part, you know this is more PR than anything serious. The narcissistic content referring to Argentina reaffirms this. I doubt John Kerry will make his reply an open letter, that is if he will even reply to such drivel.

    Double standard at its best by MP posters.
    Former prosecutor Alberto Nisman had alleged the Argentine government had plotted to request Interpol to take Iranians suspected in the 1994 AMIA bombing off the hook by requesting Interpol to take them off its international warrant list (red alert).
    Interpol promptly denied that Argentina had done such a request, throwing some of the first shadows into Nisman's denunciation; others would follow suite.
    Most MP posters scoffed at evidence surfacing, having already decided the Argentine CFK government was guilty of plotting with the Iranians and of killing Nisman--before any police investigation was concluded.
    Leprecon, on #1, still does that:
    ”...you Hector, and your beloved President that was (sic) trying to do a deal with the Iranians that sold the victims of the AIMA bombing (and) to protect yourselves you 'suicided' the prosecutor looking into the case.”
    One of the Iranians included in Argentina-requested Interpol's red alerts is Ahmad Vahidi. It is just due diligence for the Argentine government to request confirmation of information published on a newspaper.
    The opposing media in Argentina does not find much to say about it now that the action would be done by the U.S. government.
    MP posters go much further, however, and earn first prize for their strange collection of scornful ramblings and baseless accusations.

    @10 Enrique, please explain why the letter was an open one to the press.
    Do all letters to the US and EU from Argentina get published? Of course not. This is just an act of blatant propaganda trying to tell the public that they are investigating the AMIA case. The publishing the letter is the main objective over than any response from the recipients.
    I would hate to think that you buy into Timerman's and CFK's sincerity.

    This request is a tepid admission of guilt. They are stupid for asking.
