In Argentina, human rights groups have called on the United States to declassify thousands of documents related to Argentina’s military dictatorship as President Obama prepares to visit Argentina next week. Groups including the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo submitted a petition to the U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires. They hope the documents could help identify missing family members. Gaston Chillier of the Center for Legal and Social Studies said the documents could help compensate for the U.S. role in the so-called dirty war which began 40 years ago.
