..US permanently denies visa to German journalist probing Argentine human rights violations
By Michael Warren, The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – 15 minutes ago

.........BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - Some journalists are asking why the U.S. Embassy in Argentina won't let a foreign correspondent go to Washington to research human rights cases.

Argentina's foreign correspondents' association has complained on behalf of Gabriele Weber, a German freelancer whose visa request was permanently denied.

Weber is the freelance journalist whose lawsuit forced Germany's intelligence service last year to open thousands of files on top Nazi Adolf Eichmann. Some documents suggest U.S. spies knew Eichmann was hiding in Argentina. Weber also wants to pursue other rights cases involving Americans.

Weber says she suspects the State Department doesn't like what she's investigating.
