The U.S. told Argentina it was worried about the growing human rights abuses happening under the military government. Ambassador Warren made it clear that while the U.S. understands Argentina has been dealing with terrorism, the reports of torture, witch hunts, and other violations are unacceptable and could hurt relations between both countries. The Argentine diplomat responded by saying that before the 1976 coup there was “barbaric terrorism,” but that things were improving now — violence was going down and prisoners were being released. He asked the U.S. to understand Argentina’s “special situation.”
