They are very good at this. I expect another 'distraction' soon.
Transparency is rare among governments, and CFK practices just that. The AMIA bombing investigation has been paralyzed for 20 years, including the last decade during which the late Prosecutor Alberto Nisman was in charge. The team of new prosecutors asked for the release, and Cristina just did it. If she hadn't, critics like the two above would be crying out loud CFK's “secrecy.”
