Fact check
Is it true: Argentina Dirty War 1976–1983: State Terror, Operation Condor, and US Complicity?
Yes — this is confirmed.
The Argentine Dirty War (1976–1983) — systematic disappearance, torture, and murder of an estimated 30,000 people by the military junta — is confirmed by the 1985 criminal convictions of junta leaders, the CONADEP *Nunca Más* truth commission report, mass grave excavations, survivor testimony, and over 1,000 subsequent criminal convictions. Operation Condor's coordinated transnational repression and US knowledge and acquiescence are confirmed by declassified State Department documents. Denialist minimisation of the scale is directly contradicted by documented physical and testimonial evidence.
