Minority Report

Hitchens, Christopher | April 24, 1995 issue

The article focuses on the social conditions of people of Argentina. During the rule of President Jorge Videla, so many Argentines had gone missing. Even in the U.S., young people run away all the time or vanish without explanation. Road accidents happen, regrettably. Then again, there are the forces of subversion to be considered, the enemy within. Down on the Plaza de Mayo, where the mothers of the disappeared made their weekly manifestation, one heard the most horrific rumors from the secret prisons. The latest "revelations" about the crimes of the Argentine junta add exactly nothing to what was known at the time.
