16 The atrocities of “Operation Condor” reveal that human evil has no limits. In the context of this Operation, the case of Dr. Agustín Goiburú is today considered “paradigmatic of the cooperation of the [Paraguayan and Argentine] intelligence services.55 Since the participating States concealed their criminal policy, it is not surprising that, following the discovery, of the “Terror Files” (the main documentary source in Latin America of the evil “Operation Condor”), in Paraguay in December 1992, “hundreds of habeas data were filed by former political prisoners or their next of kin.”56 VII. Condor Redivivus: History repeats itself 54. The repressive acts of “Operation Condor,” on a widespread inter-State scale, that occurred – as has been historically proved – in the 1970s, can happen again. If they have occurred once or more, they can happen again; atrocities have repeated themselves over time. I fear that, today, such acts may be being repeated. And, just as many years elapsed before we learned about the acts committed under the criminal policies of the States in “Operation Condor” (and we still do not know everything today), perhaps it will take a long time before we learn about what is happening today – also with State concealment. 55. In the 1970s, it was the “war [sic] against subversion,” today it is the “war [sic] against terrorism.” In both cases, for the perpetrators of grave human rights violations, the ends justify the means, and anything is allowed, outside the law. As an advocate of the current “war [sic] on terrorism,” stated recently, “those who are not with us are against us,” exactly as the members of the Army, all Heads of State, engaged in “Operation Condor” affirmed in the 1970s in order to sow terror and try to justify State crimes. 56. State crimes really exist, they have existed and continue existing, as recent reports indicate (for example, a report for the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe) on systematic practices of torture in prisons (even secret prisons), on other continents – authentic concentration camps – in the so-called “war [sic] on terrorism”).57 Today, also, information is emerging on the practice of torture (under the euphemism of “intensive interrogation”), illegal and arbitrary detentions, abductions, clandestine flights, and forced disappearances of persons, of possible extrajudicial executions, also on an inter-State scale.58 55 .
