What was he doing in Uruguay, one might ask? Helping teach the police how to torture people. Rest in piss, you piece of shit.

    USAID is still in my country with trucks trying to get people circumcised to reduce the spread of HIV. Y'know, instead of doing something actually useful like sex education or providing condoms or HIV testing, shit that actually works to stop the spread of HIV. Well fuck now that I think about it I don't want USAID doing that either, they'll probably have some ulterior motive to do with controlling birth rates in a foreign country or tracking down dissidents. Fuck USAID, imperialists out!

    no visible signs of maltreatment (beyond the fact that during the kidnapping, Mitrione had been shot in one shoulder, a wound that had evidently been treated while in captivity).

    They treated him a thousand times better than his victims were and a million times better than he deserved

          The film opened to positive reviews from critics and is regarded as one of Costa-Gavras' finest works since the 1969 film Z. While it was released one year later in American theaters, a storm of controversy developed. Many U.S. officials hated the movie and even stated that it was a heap of lies about U.S. involvement in Latin America and other third world countries. In Washington, D.C., it was removed from a special screening at the John F. Kennedy Center, only to be run uncut on a local TV station.
