Remember The Junta?

I remember when the Falklands war broke out ....
 
Mrs Thatcher In The Falklands

.... there was such a anti-Thatcher feeling amongst the UK's Left Wing, that they *supported the Argentinians Military Junta's invasion.
 
There was a collective denial that the Junta was 'a right wing' group of torturers, who had disappeared thousands of left wing and liberal Argentinians ....... it was frankly pathetic, listening to the UK Left whinger's support for such a regimes takeover of British territory and peoples, in order to further their own narrow domestic political agenda.

Over the years I assume that some of these 'fellow travellers' have been ashamed by their actions then, and I hope that this latest story from Argentina (after twenty years and more of democracy because the Junta fell after it lost the Falklands war), will suitably shame more of them.

A federal appeals court has ruled that seventy Argentine army officers can be charged with torture of their own soldiers during the 1982 Falklands War. These are the same officers who would have ruled the islands had the Junta won.

If you can torture your own people, you can certainly torture 'invaders' or civilian 'captives'.

Just what exactly were you left wingers supporting all those years ago?

* Update: A case in point is John O'Farrell the Labour Candidate for the Eastleigh by-election in 2013, who has previously stated that he was "disappointed" that Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was not murdered by the IRA, and that he wanted Britain to lose the Falklands War to the Military Junta of Argentina.

    1. None of them ever apologised for being wrong and some of them are still in parliament now. Sorry I didn't reply back in 2009, I simply missed the comment.
