Hopes dashed, relatives of Argentine submarine crew turn to grief and anger

3. It is indeed, Judi. One of the victims' family said it best: "They lied to us."

Macri had been sitting on this information since Friday - and he would have continued doing so had the explosion not been revealed by the CTBTO, based in Vienna.

They no doubt knew they were all dead since then, which is why Macri and his Defense Minister (former dictatorship official Oscar Aguad) have left it to this poor guy, Navy Spokesman Enrique Balbi, to do all the talking.

It was more important to them that the public not blame them for cutting back on already-paltry maintenance budgets, than even to keep the families themselves duly informed.

On a lighter note, allow me to wish you, and yours, the happiest of Thanksgivings, Judi. All the Best!
