para anggota militer yang melakukan kejahatan bisa dihadapkan ke pengadilan, 
tetapi di negara Indonesia yang berdasakan keadilan Allah tidak bisa? Apakah 
Allah hanya melindungi orang-orang Jahat di Indonesia, tetapi lindungan tsb 
tidak ada di Amerika Latin  dan oleh karena itu para penjahat di sana 
dihadapkan ke pengadilan duniawi?

      Argentine junta pardons revoked  
            By Daniel Schweimler 
            BBC News, Buenos Aires  






             
            The authorities arrested many they saw as enemies of the state 
      A judge in Argentina has paved the way for the trial of two of the most 
notorious figures of the military government in power from 1976 to 1983. 

      The judge ruled that pardons granted to them by a civilian government in 
the 1990s were unconstitutional. 

      Former Economy Minister Jose Alfredo Martinez de Hoz and former Interior 
Minister Albano Harguindeguy can now be tried for kidnapping two businessmen. 

      The decision is the latest in a series of recent breakthroughs. 

      Kidnap and extortion 

      The battle for justice since the fall of the military government has been 
a long and arduous one. 

      Now, Judge Norberto Oyarbide has ruled that the pardons granted to two 
leaders of that administration by the civilian government of Carlos Menem in 
the 1990s were unconstitutional. 

      The ruling opens the way for Mr Martinez de Hoz and Mr Harguindeguy to be 
tried for the kidnap and extortion of two businessmen. 

      When civilian rule returned to Argentina the two former ministers, along 
with many military officers, were tried and imprisoned for the kidnap, torture 
and killing of tens of thousands of people during their seven years in office. 

      But subsequent civilian governments passed laws which allowed the guilty 
men to walk free. 

      Hated figure 

      Human rights groups and the families of the victims have never given up 
the fight for justice and have found an ally in the current president, Nestor 
Kirchner. 

      Mr Martinez de Hoz is one of the most hated figures in Argentina, unable 
to walk the streets in safety and with regular protests outside his home. 

      He was a key figure in the military government, seen as responsible for 
implementing repressive economic measures that benefited the military and a 
small elite. 

      Some of those actions will now be scrutinised and judged by an Argentine 
court.
