Sabato A tribute to Kirchnerism might object only 
original Preface of the report "
Never Again" from the CONADEP, written by the great Ernesto Sabato, and only at Kirchnerism would ever change (* - at the end of post).
Thanks Maestro. Thanks for your great work. Rest in peace. ----
During the '70s, Argentina was wracked by a terror that came both from the extreme right and extreme left, a phenomenon that has occurred in many other countries. This is what happened in Italy, which for years had to suffer the merciless action of the fascist formations, the Red Brigades and similar groups.
But this nation does not leave at any moment principles of law to combat it, and did so with absolute efficiency, by the ordinary courts, offering all the guarantees defendants the defense at trial, and on the occasion of the kidnapping of Aldo Moro, when a member of the security services he proposed General Della Chiesa torturing a prisoner who seemed to know much, replied memorably: "Italy can afford to lose Aldo Moro. No, instead, implement of torture. "
was not this way in our country: the crimes of terrorists, the military responded with terrorism infinitely worse than fought, because from the March 24, 1976 they had the power and impunity of the absolute state, kidnapping, torturing and killing thousands of human beings.
Our Commission was instituted to judge, as to why the judges are constitutional, but to investigate the fate of missing persons in the course of those fateful years of national life. But after receiving several thousands of statements and testimonies have verified or determined the existence of hundreds of clandestine places of detention and to accumulate more than fifty thousand pages documentaries, we have the certainty that the military dictatorship resulted in the greatest tragedy of our history, and the wildest. And while we wait for justice the final word, we are silent about what we have heard, read and recorded, all of which goes far beyond what could be considered to meet the shadowy crime category crimes against humanity. With the technique of the disappearance and its consequences, all the ethical principles that the great religions and philosophies higher erected over millennia of suffering and calamities have been cruelly trampled unknown.
are many pronouncements on the sacred rights of the person throughout history and in our time, from which enshrined the French Revolution to those stipulated in the Bill of Human Rights and the great encyclicals of the century. All civilized nations, including our own, enacted in their constitutions guarantees can never be suspended, even in the most catastrophic state of emergency: the right to life, the right to personal integrity, the right to due process, right not to suffer inhumane conditions of detention, denial of justice or summary execution.
collection of the great documentation for us it appears that human rights were violated in organic form and state repression of the military. And not only sporadically violated systematically, so always the same, with similar kidnappings and tortures identical to the full extent of the territory. How not to attribute it to a methodology of terror planned by the officers? How could they have been committed by perverse acting on their own account under a strict military regime, with all the powers and the media this is? How can we speak of "individual excesses"? From our data suggest that this technology was hell carried out by sadistic but regimented executors. If our inferences were not enough, here are the parting words uttered in the Inter-American Defense Board by the head of the delegation of Argentina, General Santiago Omar Riveros, 24 January 1980: "We did the war with the doctrine in hand, with written orders from high command. " So, when universal cry against the horrors perpetrated by members of the military junta deplored the "excesses of repression, inevitable in a dirty war," reveals a hypocritical attempt to download about the spooks planned independent subordinates.
kidnapping operatives expressed the precise organization, sometimes in the workplace of the foregoing, other in the street and in the light of day, through procedures ostensible security forces ordered "free zone" to police stations concerned. When the victim was wanted at night at home, armed commandos surrounded the apples and entered by force, terrified parents and children, often gagged and forced to witness the events, took possession of the person sought, brutally beat her, the hooded and finally dragged the car or truck, while the rest of command usually destroyed or stole it was portable. From there it started to cave in which the door could have registered the same words read Dante at the portals of hell: "Abandon all hope who enter."
Thus, in the name of national security, thousands and thousands of human beings, usually young people and even teenagers, became part of a grim and ghostly category: that of the Disappeared. Word - sad privilege of Argentina! - Is now written in Castilian in the entire world press.
forcibly seized, lapsed presence civil. Who exactly they had been kidnapped? Why? Where were they? There was no precise answer to these questions: the authorities had not heard of them, the prisons were not in their between desperate expectations of countless and useless efforts of entreaties to influential officials in any armed force that someone recommended, bishops and chaplains, commissaries. The answer was always negative.
As society was taking root the idea of \u200b\u200bvulnerability, the dark fear that anyone, however innocent it was, might fall into that infinite witch hunt and seized some overwhelming fear and other conscious or unconscious tendency to justify the horror: "There must be some," was whispered softly, as if to propitiate the terrible and inscrutable gods, looking as plague the children or parents of the deceased. Feelings, however tentative, because they knew of many who had been swallowed by the bottomless abyss without being guilty of anything, because the fight against "subversives," the tendency of any witch hunt or possessed, had become madly in widespread repression, because the epithet of subversive had a range so vast and unpredictable. In the semantic delusion, led by the ratings' Marxism-Leninism "," stateless "," materialists and atheists, "" enemies of Western values \u200b\u200band Christian "anything was possible, from people who favored a revolution sensitive to social teenagers who went to villas-misery to help their residents. All fell in the raid, union leaders fighting for a mere improvement of wages, young men who had been members of a student center, journalists who were not addicted to the dictatorship, psychologists and sociologists belonging to suspicious professions, young pacifists, nuns and priests who had brought the teachings of Christ to slums. And friends of any of them, and esosamigos friends, people who had been denounced by personal revenge and torture kidnapped. All, most innocent of terrorism or even the pictures belong to guerrilla fighters, because they had died in battle and fight or committed suicide rather than surrender, and few came alive at the hands of the oppressors.
From the time of the abduction, the victim lost all rights, deprived of all communication with the outside world, confined in unfamiliar surroundings, subjected to tortures of hell, ignorant of their destination directly or indirectly from, susceptible being thrown into the river or the sea, with cement blocks on his feet, or reduced to ashes; beings but were not things, but retained attributes of the human creature: the sensitivity to the torment, the memory of his mother or your son or his wife, endless shame for the violation in public, things that not only possessed by the supreme infinite anguish and dread, but, perhaps because of that, keeping in some corner of his soul a wild hope.
Of these homeless, many of them barely teenagers, of those abandoned by the world we have seen about nine thousand. But we have every reason to expect a higher figure, because many families hesitate to report kidnappings for fear of reprisals. And even hesitate, fearing a resurgence of these forces of evil.
with sadness, with sorrow we have fulfilled the mission entrusted to us at the time the Constitutional President of the Republic. That work was very hard, because we had to piece together a dark puzzle, after many years of the events, when they have released all traces erased, has burned up all documentation and buildings have been demolished. We had to rely, therefore, in reports of family members, in the statements of those who could get out of hell and even the testimony of repressors that dark motivations approached us to say what they knew.
During
of our inquiries we were insulted and threatened by those who committed crimes, who far from repenting, returning to repeat the usual reasons of "dirty war" of the salvation of the country and its Western values \u200b\u200band Christian values \u200b\u200bthat were precisely drawn by them within the walls of the caverns of bloody repression. And they accuse us of not promote national reconciliation, to turn the hatred and resentment, to prevent forgetfulness. Not so: we are not motivated by resentment or by the spirit of revenge, just ask for truth and justice, as the other party has asked the churches of different denominations, meaning that there can be reconciliation, but after the guilty repentance and justice that is based on truth. Because if not, should lie on the ground the transcendent mission that the judiciary has in every civilized community. Truth and justice, moreover, that will live with honor to the men of the armed forces who are innocent and that, unless doing so would run the risk of being soiled by a global criminality and unfair. Truth and justice that will allow these forces be considered as true heirs of those armies, so heroic as poverty, brought freedom to half a continent.
We have been accused, in short, to report only part of the bloody events that our nation suffered in recent times, silencing those who commit terrorism that preceded the March 1976 and up, somehow, make including a tortuous exaltation. On the contrary, our Committee has always repudiated the terror, and we repeat again in these pages. Our mission was not to investigate his crimes, but strictly the fate of the missing, whatever, came from one or the other side of violence. Relatives of victims of terrorism before they did, surely, because the terror was deaths, not missing. Otherwise the Argentine people has been heard and seen many TV shows, and read countless articles in newspapers and magazines, plus an entire book published by the military government, which listed, described and thoroughly condemned the events of that terrorism.
The great calamities are always instructive, and certainly the most terrible tragedy in its history that the nation suffered during the military dictatorship that lasted launched in March 1976 that will help us understand Only democracy can save a people of such horror, only she can keep and save the sacred and essential rights of the human creature. Only then can we be sure that our country never again be repeated facts that we have made tragically famous in the civilized world .
