Description

Should the United States, in other words, impose some form of sanctions to persuade Argentina not to ignore human rights in the course of fighting terrorism? To Mr. Hill, "We have grave moral problems in the United States. You know, I'd like to see our people pay attention to making us a better society rather than trying to tell someone else in the Far East, or in Europe, or in the Middle East, or in Africa how to run their affairs." Mr. Roca points out a special difficulty in fighting this kind of terrorist war: "We really make friendship a basic element of our daily life, and these people are using this friendship to introduce into the families of the members of the government- All of the bombs are not put by people disguised as-how do you say mandaderos?" WFB: "Messengers." ER: "Messengers. No, they are disguised as friends of the family, friends of the institution, no? It's difficult to handle all of these questions in the normal manner."
