Bij mij in de buurt woont een jonge man die jaren geleden betrokken was bij wat 'zinloos geweld' heet, en waarbij een andere jonge man werd doodgeslagen. De jonge man uit mijn buurt heeft nu een klein kind. En zodra ik zijn kind zie moet ik aan die dode jongen denken. Hetzelfde heb ik met deze Jorge Zorreguieta wiens regime verantwoordelijk is voor de dood van naar schatting 30.000 jonge mensen, mannen en vrouwen. Zorreguieta kan van zijn kinderen en kleinkinderen genieten, zonder enige zichtbare gewetenswroeging, terwijl de nabestaanden van zijn slachtoffers voor het leven getekend zijn. In tegenstelling tot de jonge man in mijn buurt is hij nooit juridische ter verantwoording geroepen. De dood van de Amsterdamse jonge man was het resultaat van dronkenschap. De dood van 30.000 Argentijnse jongeren was het resultaat van gecalculeerde wreedheid. Such is life.Allemaal gebeurd toen Jorge Horacio Zorreguieta Stefanini (Buenos Aires, 28 januari 1928) lid was van de Argentijnse junta. Hij was minister van Landbouw in het regime van generaal Jorge Videla en loopt nog steeds op vrije voeten rond.

Washington, DC, December 8, 2009 - As the case of "Operation Mexico"--death squad murders, disappearances and rendition efforts by the Argentine secret police--is presented to a court in Rosario, Argentina, the National Security Archive today posted a selection of records that corroborate the testimony of the only surviving witness, Jaime Dri. The documents were provided to a tribunal of five judges yesterday by Archive analyst Carlos Osorio who testified that "the records reveal how the Argentine dictatorship conducted its campaign of transnational terror in the 1970's."
"Operation Mexico" was the codename for a clandestine Argentine rendition program aimed at kidnapping and disappearing leaders of the Montoneros living in exile in Mexico City in the late 1970s. In 1978, members of that militant group who had already been taken prisoner and were being held in a clandestine prison in Rosario were forced to travel with intelligence agents to Mexico to identify their colleagues. The operation was intercepted and disrupted by Mexican authorities. To cover up the failed mission, the Argentine secret police executed 14 of the 15 prisoners who were aware of Operation Mexico.
The documents include a secret Argentine report that confirmed that Jaime Dri was the lone survivor of the prisoners who knew about the secret Mexico rendition mission. According to the document, "DRI JAIME 'Pelado'" was present when "the commission that accompanies 'TUCHO'" Valenzuela--one of the prisoners forced to accompany the intelligence operatives to Mexico City to identify his colleagues--"returned from Mexico."
The secret report was discovered by Osorio, who directs the Southern Cone Documentation Project at the National Security Archive, among papers at the Archivo del Terror in Paraguay. Osorio testified yesterday before Judge Otmar Paulucci, who heads the Federal criminal tribunal No. 1 in Rosario. The tribunal is currently hearing the "Guerrieri case," named for one of the members of the paramilitary unit "121" who is being prosecuted for executing 14 members of the Montoneros in a secret prison in Rosario.
In January 2008, the National Security Archive exposed "Operation Mexico," publishing declassified documents found in Mexican national archives from the Federal Directorate of Security. Those documents showed that Mexican security officers had arrested and interrogated two of the Argentine intelligence agents in January 1978 before deporting them and their two Montonero prisoners they had brought with them back to Argentina. The two were among those fourteen subsequently executed. Dri's account of "Operation Mexico" was described in the book Recuerdo de la Muerte, written by Argentine investigator Miguel Bonasso in 1994.
"These new documents complete the international triangulation of evidence from Mexico, Argentina and Paraguay," according to Osorio, "and confirm Argentina's bloody pursuit of cross border repression."

Diciembre 8, 2009, Washington, DC - El National Security Archive publica hoy un documento confirmando que Jaime Dri, único sobreviviente, estaba enterado de la Operación México que forzó a desaparecidos detenidos en Rosario a participar en un escuadrón de la muerte para infiltrar a la dirección de Montoneros en Ciudad de México en enero de 1978. El documento indica que "DRI JAIME 'Pelado'" estuvo presente cuando vino "de regreso de México, la comisión oficial" que acompañó a 'TUCHO'" Valenzuela, uno de los secuestrados sacado de una prisión en Argentina y forzado a viajar a México con el escuadrón.
El informe descubierto por Carlos Osorio, director del Proyecto de Documentación del Cono Sur del National Security Archive, en el Archivo del Terror del Paraguay, fue presentado ayer ante el tribunal número 1 de Rosario, Argentina, donde están siendo enjuiciados agentes del destacamento de inteligencia 121. El caso Guerrieri, nombrado así por el apellido de uno de los imputados, trata de la detención ilegal y posterior asesinato de 14 insurgentes Montoneros en una cárcel secreta en Rosario, Argentina. Los prisioneros habrían sido testigos y forzados a colaborar con un escuadrón de inteligencia militar enviado a Ciudad de México a liquidar a cabecillas Montoneros en 1978: Operación México.
Los documentos de Paraguay se complementan con otros documentos provenientes de la Dirección Federal de Seguridad de México (DFS), publicados por el National Security Archive en enero de 2008, que dan cuenta que la DFS capturó e interrogó a dos de los agentes secretos argentinos y los expulsó de vuelta a su país. "Los nuevos documentos concluyen una triangulación de evidencia documental internacional sobre la Operación México y confirman la veracidad del testimonio de Dri que, por años, fue conocido solamente por el libro Recuerdos de la Muerte," dijo Carlos Osorio.
