Uruguay will be attempting a new approach to the human rights and disappeared persons issues, a still unfinished legacy from the military dictatorship, (1973/1984) and the decade of armed sedition which preceded the collapse of the country's democracy. The announcement is expected later this month and basically means replacing “truth and justice” for “truth and memory”, following to a certain extent the South African experience. Read full article

Several things here:
1) WHY did Uruguay end up with military rule: because the terrorist Tupas, now the Broad Fraud, attempted to unseat a duly elected government just because the failed lawyer Sendic decided to.

2) If the Military are to be raked over yet again are the Tupas going to suffer the same? No, I didn’t think so.

3) When are these people who want this nonsense going to stop blaming the military to the exclusion of all other miscreants and get on with what remains of their lives which hopefully (as far as I am concerned) won’t be much and we can ALL move forward.

As for the fucking pope, he can piss off and stop interfering.

“The memory wont (Sic) fade.”

Which bit of the Tupas selective memory would that be then?

How Sendic, the failed lawyer ala TMBOA, tried to overcome a democratically elected government and ended up causing Military Rule?

That is the truth of it and now we have the other Sendic arsehole who, if Vasquez turns tits up, will end up being the fucking president. You couldn’t make this up.

Only in SA, again.
