The Condor Years (55 page)

245
  
Uruguayans sought:
The officers are José Nino Gavazzo, Manuel Cordero, Jorge Silveira, and police officer Hugo Campos Hermida. Campos Hermida died of cancer in 2001, just weeks after he told the author he wished to testify about the Argentine missions, which he said he knew about but denied partipating in.

246
  
Military travelers:
Le Loire, as only one example, issued international warrants for 150 officers he wanted for questioning. Another Argentine officer, Jorge Olivera,
was arrested in August 2000 and held briefly pending extradition to face charges in Le Loire’s court in Paris.

252
  
Plans were known:
Rogers and Shlaudeman, who coordinated their responses to author’s questions, also asserted that the phrase “no further action” in the September 20, 1776, cable does not exclude the possibility that the Kissinger démarche was delivered prior to September 20. If that were the case, it would certainly be documented in cables in which the ambassadors reported back to Kissinger on the meetings he ordered them to seek. Both Rogers and Shlaudeman have the security clearances necessary to see cables still kept secret from the public, and would be able to back up their argument with evidence if it existed.
