Obama declassifies files on US sponsored genocide in Argentina (1976-1983)

[Lacrimi de Chiciură]

Any thoughts on this move (http://www.wsj.com/articles/obama-declassifies-documents-related-to-argentinas-dirty-war-1458842158) by President Obama?

Does anyone know where we can access the documents? Are they actually out yet?

Perhaps revelations provided by these documents can affect the 2016 presidential candidates' campaigns ...

The documents are likely to further implicate Henry Kissinger, whose close relationship with the Clintons has been one of the few instances of Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton expressing relatively strong disagreement with each other (http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/02/hillary-clinton-kissinger-vacation-dominican-republic-de-la-renta), in crimes against humanity.

Also, Trump has received a high profile endorsement from the racist Maricopa County sheriff Joe Arpaio, who is making the rounds on Fox News, where he has bragged about working with the DEA in Argentina and meeting with foreign heads of state during the CONDOR PLAN years, when DEA officers trained Argentine state terror forces, who in turn helped execute the "Cocaine Coup" in Bolivia with the help of the CIA's Nazi fugitive asset Klaus Barbie, assassin of Che Guevara.

Go for George Washington University's page on declassified US archives (http://nsarchive.gwu.edu/). If those documents are already out, they should be there. If they aren't, they will be there when they are. So keep an eye on it!

Edit: there are sixteen documents (http://nsarchive.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB545-Obama-brings-declassified-diplomacy-to-Argentina-on-40th-anniversary-of-coup/) out. Check them!

I have to wonder what the practical effects of efforts like this are. Whilst I cannot dispute the value of having these records public, it has already been widely acknowledged how barbaric the military regime of Argentina was, and how complicit major world powers, not just the US, but also Britain, Brazil, etc... were for so long. So will these sorts of paperwork make any serious impact beyond placating a few emotions? I must confess I am skeptical; there isn't enough new here to really shock most people, particularly Argentines who lived through the dictatorship, into approaching the subject differently.

It is more evidence that can be used to undermine the public's faith in the ideological notion that American and the West are the "good guys".
