Sheesh,they don't make decent heat seeking missiles like they used to.
BUENOS AIRES.Pedro Troiani was at work on the assembly line at the Ford
Motor plant here one morning in April 1976 when more than a dozen heavily
armed men burst into the factory and made their way toward him, he recalled
recently.
At gunpoint, he said, he was paraded through the plant and driven in a
company truck to a soccer field in the factory complex where, he said, the
Argentine Army had set up a barracks and detention center.
He described being bound with wire, kicked and held for eight hours on the
factory grounds. Mr. Troiani, a labor leader at the time, said he and four
other Ford employees were then transferred to a secret prison and
eventually to a special detention camp as part of the "dirty war" against
anyone considered a leftist opponent by the military dictatorship that
ruled this country from 1976 to 1983.
A spokesman for Ford here, Rolo Ceretti, said he could neither confirm nor
deny Mr. Troiani's account "because these events happened 26 years ago and
most of the people who worked at the company no longer do."
But, he said, "to talk of a detention center within our plant is not correct."

P & I SUV.
Recent actions by the Earth Liberation Front in Virginia targeting sport
utility vehicles have prompted a number of media and public inquiries.
Since July 2002 close to 40 gas-guzzling SUVs have been treated with
glass-etching cream, had their tires slashed or have been otherwise damaged
in the Richmond area. There is not a total estimate of damages available at
this time, although damage to just two of the vehicles was priced at $15,000.
