Bergoglio -- who ran Argentina's Jesuit order during the dictatorship -- told Rubin that he regularly hid people on church property during the dictatorship, and once gave his identity papers to a man with similar features, enabling him to escape across the border. But all this was done in secret, at a time when church leaders publicly endorsed the junta and called on Catholics to restore their "love for country" despite the terror in the streets.

!!!!!!!!!!!


Rubin said failing to challenge the dictators was simply pragmatic at a time when so many people were getting killed, and attributed Bergoglio's later reluctance to share his side of the story as a reflection of his humility.

But Bregman said Bergoglio's own statements proved church officials knew from early on that the junta was torturing and killing its citizens, and yet publicly endorsed the dictators. "The dictatorship could not have operated this way without this key support," she said.

In all fairness, this was not the church's inquisition that time. They have agreements to not interfere with fellow rights abusers. :)

The United States will deploy additional ground-based missile interceptors on the West Coast as part of efforts to enhance the nation's ability to defend itself from attack by North Korea, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced Friday.

Still relatively new in his post, the Pentagon chief told reporters that 14 additional interceptors to be installed by 2017 would bring the total to 44. It is part of a package of steps expected to cost $1 billion, officials said

Dennis Rodman paid by MIC to help NK leader decide to ramp up threat so MIC can get another nice check for military hardware?

Humans will turn anything, including the internet, into a weapon. People still question why ET doesn't stop by for tea.

Maybe NK hacks at SK. But the US is flying B-52 over the area. At this point, the internet hack is no match for regular war machines in a battle.
