#1 Argentine ex-dictator General Reynaldo Bignone has admitted that 8,000 people were kidnapped and killed during the 1976-83 military regime

Only 8,000? Under the alternative, a communist regime, the body count would have been in the hundreds of thousands, not the mention the millions conscripted to performed forced labor in gulags.

#2 leftists claim 30,000. Truth is probably in the middle somewhere but still the junta were pikers compared to the communists.

#3 Right Wing dictators usually are pikers. After all Turjillo(sp) in Cuba let Castro out of prison after what, 2 years when he was caught following an attack on a police station that killed several cops or solidiers. Think how much trouble one pistol round could of saved

#5 Trujillo ran the Dominican Republic.

Any relation to the one that snookered Jimmuah Catah out of the canal?

#6 Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, Omar Torrejos in Panama. Two different families, but probably related somewhere! I was in Panama when Torrejos took over, BTW. He didn't like the people's choice for president. He did some good, some bad, but was never the bas**** Noriega was.
