It resulted in one Jew dead, 71 wounded and several synagogues and two public libraries torched. From Bridget Kevane's clumsy wording, however, it would appear that all 800 people who were killed in the riots were Jewish, which is by no means the case.

But I was intrigued enough by your critique of Kevane's piece to purchase <i>Prisoner without a Name...</i>. I've long been interested in learning more about the Dirty War. Hopefully Timmerman's book will be a good introduction. I was not familiar with Timmerman. But I was intrigued enough by your critique of Kevane’s piece to purchase Prisoner without a Name….

By extropolating a few words out of context a writer has single-handedly created a maelstrom of dis-content. It is obvious to everyone, educated or not, Argentine, or not, Jewish or not, that this lady who wrote these discombobulated paragraphs really knows very little about anything except how to string 26 letters together, like a two year old. In this day and age of information overload it is too easy say anything at anytime. Therefore, the value of the written word has lost a certain amount of clout, but at the same time has the power to stir people up like never before. One little article with misinformation disinformation, quotes taken out of context and numerous biases can be disseminated across the world in a second. And, thank goodness for the combined and common intelligence of us readers it is our duty and obligation to strike those ill conceived dictums right down before they boil into something not intended. So my fellow free thinkers: Follow this blog entry with as much and as many comments as you can to thwart the enemy of TRUTH wherever it rears its ugly head. And to Mr. Jacobo Timerman, whom I met I on several occassions, you are and were a GREAT MAN and will always be regarded as such!!!!! We will NEVER FORGET you and will fight for your ideals until the death, singularly, and collectively. Your strengths are our strengths and we take them onward in adfinatum.
