The U.S. should be included in an investigation since it supported both Operation Bandeirantes and the government-based organization that followed--DOI-CODI. See Huggins' book Political Policing (Duke, 1997)

”President-elect Rousseff has admitted having belonged to different clandestine organizations such as the National Liberation Command, (Colina), Palmares Armed Revolutionary Vanguard (VAR-Palmares) and the Workers Policies (Polop). However she points out that she was never involved in any armed action.” Oh yes, I remember now. Those were the organizations building churches all over Brazil.

And do you really know anything about the subject, jerry? Of Rousseff's old companions in arms - José Dirceu, Fernando Pimentel, Aloysio Nunes, Marco Garcia, her former husband, etc. - none have attributed to her an active role in missions of combat, muggings, kidnappings or the like. She did participated in the planning, though.
