McCain backer Kissenger supported Argentinian "Dirty War"
(This is an older article, but I think we should really work hard on showing the American people what kind of agenda backs the Republican nominee)

KISSINGER TO ARGENTINES ON DIRTY WAR:
"THE QUICKER YOU SUCCEED THE BETTER"

Newly declassified documents show Secretary of State
gave green light to junta, Contradict official line that
Argentines "heard only what wanted to hear."

While military dictatorship committed massive
human rights abuses in 1976, Kissinger advised
"If you can finish before Congress gets back, the better."

I know it is just one example in a list of examples; but we need to make people think really hard: do we want a president backed by people who support military juntas?
