Scilingo

The references say that Scilingo recanted his confession, but I'm not sure whether he recanted the statement that death flights took place or just recanted the statement of his own guilt. In either case, this information should be in the article. - AdelaMae ^{(t - c - wpn)} 23:09, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reason

What I miss in this article is the actual REASON WHY they took the effort (and cost) to execute people by throwing them out of planes? I'm quite sure lots of bodies would also turn up afterwards? As stated in the article, other prisoners were simply shot and burned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.101.174.74 (talk) 14:27, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The reason is quite inflamatory, I don't know how to phrase it to avoid a flame war. Here's the original quote from Scilingo: "[...] Explicó que en la Armada no se fusilarían subversivos ya que no se quería tener los problemas sufridos por Franco en España y Pinochet en Chile. Tampoco se "podía ir contra el Papa" pero se consultó a la jerarquía eclesiástica y se adoptó un método que la Iglesia consideraba cristiano, o sea gente que despega en un vuelo y no llega a destino. Ante las dudas de algunos marinos, se aclaró que "se tiraría a los subversivos en pleno vuelo". Después de los vuelos, los capellanes nos trataban de consolar recordando un precepto bíblico que habla de "separar la hierba mala del trigal"."^[1] That is, the higher ups from the Argentinian Church itself recommended this method, as it was seen as more 'Christian'. 125.71.229.77 (talk) 16:00, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
