	Dirty War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dirty war (in Spanish: Guerra Sucia) refers to a program of a state-sponsored war on domestic citizens in response to strikes, social unrest, violence or subversion that is claimed to threaten a country's stability.
		The loss of the war led to the resignation of Galtieri on June 17 of the same year and a third (and last) junta was placed in power under a new president, Reynaldo Bignone.

	Grupos Antiterroristas de Liberación - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This period is often referred to as part of "La guerra sucia" (The dirty war) in Spanish history.
		The kidnapping and later murder of Joxe Antonio Lasa and Joxe Ignacio Zabala in October 1983 and the kidnapping of Segundo Marey in 1984, marked the beginning of the group.
		It is believed that the GAL were a major factor in ensuring ETA's survival into the 1990s and beyond, helping to preserve the image of an authoritarian state in war against the Basque people.

		International counterterrorism is running afoul of Bush's imperatives for what has become a "dirty war." Although Bush's "war on terrorism" is a phrase his administration last month declared was obsolete (only to have Bush reimpose the slogan Wednesday), the dirty war remains very much in place.
		Since Sept. 11, 2001, Bush has proposed a sharp dichotomy between "war" and "law enforcement." In his 2004 State of the Union address, he ridiculed those who view counterterrorism as other than his conception of war: "I know that some people question if America is really in a war at all.
		To the extent Britain responds with the assertion of the rule of law, it serves as a notable counterexample to Bush's dirty war.

	DVD Talk > Reviews > Dirty War
		Writer/Director Daniel Percival and Writer Lizzie Mickery precede the film with a warning that, although Dirty War is a work of fiction, their film is based on "extensive factual research." From the very start, the viewer is left to wonder just what aspects of the film is complete fiction and what might be all-too-frighteningly real.
		Dirty War is not a perfect film, by any stretch of the imagination, but it is an extremely well written and well-acted work of fiction that actually feels much more real than many documentaries.
		Dirty War is presented in an anamorphic 1.85:1 widescreen transfer that may not be in the best of shape, but actually adds to the documentary-style feel of the film.

	Boston.com / A&E / TV / 'Dirty War' deals with present dangers
		It must be coincidental that Boston's recent dirty-bomb scare came days before the premiere of the HBO movie "Dirty War." We know television outlets will lie, cheat, steal, and pander shamelessly in order to grab viewers, falsifying coming attractions and encouraging reality hot-tub shows to look like soft-core porn.
		"Dirty War" (which will also run on PBS on Feb. 23 as part of an HBO-PBS deal) is a glimpse of what might happen if a homemade device packed with radioactive powder exploded in a major city -- in this case, London.
		"Dirty War" falls into the same category as series such as "24" and "The Grid," as well as the recent FX movie "Smallpox," which was also directed by Percival.

		Many Argentines reserve a special hatred for Astiz, who, as a young member of a military death squad, was assigned to infiltrate the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, mothers of those detained and often killed by the military junta.

		One of the characters in Dirty War reminds us that such fanatics are only a small percentage of the Muslim population, but the rest of the film seems singular in creating racial fear in the audience.
		Dirty War is designed to create fear about what could happen to us, and it does that effectively.
		Dirty War is merely worth a rental, as the production values, script, and performances don't warrant multiple viewings.

		Although Bush’s “war on terrorism” is a phrase his administration just two weeks ago declared was obsolete -- only to have Bush reinstate the slogan a few days later -- the dirty war remains very much in place.
		But Bush is more and more under attack in defense of his dirty war: the Pentagon has quashed the suggestion of military investigators looking into FBI reports of torture at Guantanamo that its former commander, Major General Geoffrey Miller, be reprimanded for dereliction of duty.
		But the dirty war that damages the difficult work of counter-terrorism continues unabated, raging on for reasons beyond domestic political consumption; at its heart is the drive for concentrated executive power above the rule of law.

		In addition to extending the geographic scope of the war, the Argentine dictatorship extended the definition of "enemy" by vaguely defining who was an enemy.
		During the Dirty War, if someone was arrested or disappeared, silent onlookers often thought "serÃ por algo." (It must be for something.) According to the circular logic of a silent onlooker, because torture is a crime and should only be done in extreme casesâ”if at allâ”people who are tortured must deserve the treatment.
		Both Argentina during the Dirty War and the US during the War on Terror have managed to consolidate state power to benefit the elite by attempting to instill fear in the people and minimize dissent.

		The evidence that British Army, RUC and British Intelligence "dirty tricks" and murder units are operating in Ireland and Britain, that there is a "shoot-to-kill" policy among military/police personnel, and that the Loyalist sectarian, Catholic murder campaign is part of a larger plan, is overwhelming.
		Britain's Dirty War in Ireland is into its 28th year, or well into its 800th year, depending on your vision.
		The other aspect of the "dirty war" strategy is the Loyalist "sectarian murder" campaign against random Catholics -- seemingly for no better reason than they are Catholics.

		The Dirty War (in Spanish: La Guerra Sucia) was a program of violent repression of rebels and dissidents conducted between 1976 and 1983 by the military government in Argentina.
		Because of the anti-communistic point of view, when Reagan came to power in 1981 he quickly reversed former president Carter's condemnation of the regime on record on human rights and authorized CIA collaboration with the Argentine intelligence service for training and arming the Nicaraguan contras.

		In BBC Films' Dirty War, Muslim fanatics detonate a "dirty bomb," a conventional explosive rigged to scatter radioactive fallout, in the heart of London.
		In Dirty War, however, the warning seems mostly to be against standing in crowded places.
		Dirty War for the most part stays out of the international politics that breed terrorism, focusing instead on the indefensibility of the homeland.

		A Dirty War is the harrowing account of Russia's invasion and subsequent decimation of Chechnya--a place with a mixed population, many of whom were themselves Russians.
		The first account written by a Russian woman of the Chechen conflict, "A Dirty War" is an edgy and intense study of a country in crisis.
		In a series of articles from July 1999 to February 2000 she vividly describes the atrocities and abuses of the war, whether it is the corruption at the heart of post-Communist Russia or the equally spurious arguments and abominable behaviour of the Chechens.

		For less senior Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters captured in Afghanistan, the administration created a visible regime of indefinite detention at the leased U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and asserted that this domain was beyond the reach of both international humanitarian law and the U.S. Constitution.
		To avoid possible culpability under U.S. anti-torture statutes, the harshest interrogations are said to be accomplished through rendering detainees into the temporary custody of cooperative foreign intelligence services, such as those of Egypt and Saudi Arabia, with a record of employing torture.
		The first was a prolonged internal debate, from October 2002 to April 2003, regarding the permissible range of "counter-resistance techniques" for interrogation of mid-level detainees held at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay.

	Help Mexico Put 'Dirty War' to Rest (Human Rights Watch, 4-3-2004)
		According to the National Security Archive, a private research institute based in Washington, D.C., the U.S. government possesses thousands of documents concerning the Mexican "dirty war." These documents could be a powerful tool for the special prosecutor as he seeks to establish how Mexico's security apparatus functioned and what role specific individuals played within it.
		This is largely because of widespread opposition to the war in Iraq, which has only intensified as the main justification for the invasion has shifted from Saddam Hussein's elusive weapons of mass destruction to his well-documented mistreatment of the Iraqi people.
		The fact that the first Mexican charged with "dirty war" crimes was an associate of the CIA is one more potent reminder of the double standard the U.S. has applied to human rights.

		The U.S. military custom of burying dead enemies disposed of the problem, the man said, when "thousands of Bedouins and other families were buried side by side with warriors in mass graves around Iraq." Fire, as well as inadequate and decentralized record keeping, assisted in making the dead vanish.
