The document in question is below. It's a report from a human source (or possibly a foreign liaison service). It is not the CIA's considered analysis. Also, it's not about "Argentina," it's about one particular unit. This report could be golden, could be garbage. Is there supporting evidence? 2/2
CIA had the junta well-wired at the time; they were working together to train the contras in Central America, though the Argentines were a tad too bloodthirsty for CIA. Even so, murdering hundreds of US and UK citizens? A single-source report, and, as British journos would say, interesting if true.
I'm pretty sure the unit in question, the 601st Intelligence Battalion, was involved in the July 1980 coup in Bolivia that brought the García Meza Tejada regime to power. There's more than a bit of evidence that the agency had advanced knowledge of the plot. www.amazon.com/Big-White-Li...
