	Ex-dictator admits 8000 disappeared in 'dirty war' - smh.com.au
		Former Argentine dictator General Reynaldo Bignone has admitted that 8000 people were kidnapped and killed during the 1976-83 military regime and said the church leadership had given its approval to torture practices.
		Bignone said the ruling junta had asked Roman Catholic bishops in Argentina about the use of torture, and were told that it was permissible under certain circumstances.
		Bignone also said that, of the 8000 who were kidnapped, then killed, about 1500 had died during the government of Maria Estela Martinez de Peron, who was ousted by military coup in 1976.

		El último presidente de la dictadura, el general Reynaldo Bignone, aseguró ayer que su polémica frase en una carta a los "jóvenes" en la que instaba a que "terminen lo que nosotros no supimos ni pudimos terminar" se refería a "esclarecer toda la verdad, y punto".

		En esa causa, Bignone fue excarcelado después de casi siete años de detención domiciliaria debido al tiempo transcurrido sin que se le dictara condena.

	Reynaldo Bignone Information
		Reynaldo Benito Antonio Bignone Ramayón (born January 21 1928) is a former Argentine general and the de facto president of the country from July 1, 1982 to December 10, 1983.
		His power did not last long; without the Falkland Islands as an issue and newly allowed to express certain degrees of dissent under Galtieri, Argentine protests made the restoration of democracy inevitable.
		Nevertheless, General Bignone tried to condition the return to democracy by imposing limits to any future investigation of human-rights violations that had taken place during the 1976-1983 military dictatorship.

		Bignone initially promised elections and a return to civilian rule in March of 1984, but the date has been steadily advanced, and voting is now scheduled for October of this year.
