5. That must refer to her close links with the U.S. Embassy and the NED, from which she received funds

Bullrich was revealed by Wikileaks to recieve frequent instructions of a mostly unspecified nature from the U.S. Embassy - although that was pretty much common knowledge in Argentina even before the 2010 Wikileak.

She was (and may still be) also a member of UnoAmérica, a Pentagon-backed roundtable of Latin Amrican right-wing politicians.

Their stated goal? Destabilize all governments in the region - even moderate ones - disliked by Cold War types (and Miami Cubans). Argentina was listed among them.

My guess is that since this young man's death though, she's become something of a liability in State Department eyes - and with good reason: she's a kind of Argentine Lucia Hiriart Pinochet. Murderous but dense, and more trouble than she's worth.

Thanks for finding all those, Judi. Here's hoping the truth will be half as easy to find, once these people leave office.
