Face Of The Day
Former Argentina's de facto President and Army chief Reynaldo Bignone listens to his attorney at the courtroom where he is accused of
human rights crimes during the country's dictatorship, in Buenos Aires
on November 4, 2009. Bignone, 81, the facto leader from 1982 to 1983,
is charged with the kidnapping and torture of 56 people who were held
in secret detention centers at the Campo de Mayo military base, on the
outskirts of Buenos Aires during Argentina's 'dirty war' against
leftists. In addition to the kidnapping and torture charges, Bignone is
accused of having stolen children from some of the kidnapped detainees.
Five other retired military officers also are being prosecuted during
the trial, which is expected to run through early March 2010. By Juan Mabromata/AFP/Getty
