    Why the hell didn't he die alone in a concrete cell? (Given that nobody in Argentina knew how to tie a thirteen loop Hangman's knot?)

    Let's point out that José Pérez Rojo and Patricia Roisinblit were not only kidnapped and tortured, but they remain missing.

    Graffigna escaped justice for almost 30 years because the criteria for sentencing of the members of the junta required a high standard of proof.

    Both the trial to the junta members and the later prosecutions that became possible after the elimination of the statute of limitations for crimes against humanity were exemplary and a demonstration of the will of the Argentines to prevent repetition of the horrendous crimes of the last civic-military dictatorship.
