Overwhelmingly sad was learning how Clarín, Argentina's largest newspaper, and powerful influence, completely whitewashed the Dirty War, with its shocking kidnappings of suspected dissidents, massive torture centers, murders, "death flights" of prisoners who were chained together and dropped into the Atlantic or La Plata River, from military airplanes, and permanent "disappearances" of over 30,000 human beings.
