Argentina's Supreme Court has revoked a pardon granted to a former general accused of human rights abuses.

Santiago Omar Riveros is accused of more than 40 crimes against humanity which were committed during the military rule of 1976-1983.

The ruling opens the way for all of those accused of involvement in the "Dirty War", in which an estimated 30,000 people were killed, to be tried.

Mr Riveros was pardoned in 1989 by the then President Carlos Menem.

Take time to recall that it was _Bush family friend, Carlos Menem who pardoned these horrendous human suffering enthusiasts/vampires during his Presidency. Hearing they can be tried should shame the hell outta him, but that's so unlikely. Right-wingers have no consciences.
