Well i doubt kirchner is intelligent enough to sack Timmerman so there goes any chances of that. Though politically he will be seen as we brits have been saying for a while now, as nothing more then a political clown that hasn't got a clue, and will simply be laughed at by international politicians. Lol

Oh where are the argentines that were shouting the US broke our laws now eh. You all very quite about it, now since your own argentine judge confirms no law was broken LMAO.

“”said US military personnel were going to teach Argentine police “how to torture”” -do they need teaching? l thought that they were pretty good at it! Maybe the Argentine police could teach les americains.

For him to be 'personally supervising' makes one wonder if it was all just a publicity stunt from the start.

Egg on face Timmerman, like all Argentine officials a laughing stock of the world.

The current Argentine govt has a talent for shooting itself in the bollocks; they screwed up big time over the paper mill and the only reason the Finns went to Uruguay is that the governor of the Province of Entre Rios wanted a 20% kick-back and the Uruguayans welcomed them with open arms and no demands for kick-back. All dog in the manger attitudes.
