5. In honor of Sisters Domon and Duquet, whose murders helped turn the world against the dictators.

Thank you, Judi, for this essential information - which, although a veritable cause célèbre at the time, has since been largely forgotten outside of France and Argentina.

At the time, as you may know, the dictatorship claimed that they had been murdered by leftists (as they often claimed whenever the press got curious). They did so with premeditation, going as far as to order their captors (led by the infamous Navy Commander Jorge "Tigre" Acosta, who's now in jail thanks to Cristina Kirchner) to photograph the two nuns with a Montoneros banner behind them.

Sister Domon, who was very fond of Astiz, was said to have died asking about the well-being of "that nice young man." There must be a special place in Hell for people like him.

Thanks as always, Judi.
