Chavez rallies w/Madres de la Plaza de Mayo. . .

Bush, Friday, March 9, 2007 in Buenos Aires. Chavez is in a two-day visit in Argentina. (AP Photo/Daniel Luna)

I remember when these Argentine mothers protested daily against the fascist military regime (1976-83) that abducted their adult dissident children. . .later to witness horrific evidence that this military killed many by pushing them out of planes over the Atlantic.

Justice was served on some of these fascist pigs like Adolfo Scilingo in 2005 who was found guilty of helping to kill 30 people on two so-called death flights in which drugged and naked prisoners were pushed out of planes into the sea. Scilingo received 30 terms of 21 years for the deaths and five years each for torture and illegal detention. However, under Spanish law he cannot serve more than 30 years on the charges.

No wonder the Latinos Americanos put out much more passionate protest than we Norte Americanos. . .fascism has devastated many of them first-hand, up-front, and personally. We should have their same zero tolerance for fascism regarding Gitmo prisons . . .read the writing on their walls. . .

Viva Madres de la Plaza de Mayo!
