The Times:


John Fund had more on the story on the Corner earlier this week. The Times reported last night that there are tapes confirming Nisman’s allegations — that the Argentine government wanted to kill a terror investigation, including Interpol work, so they could boost trade relations with Iran — seem to be accurate.

If the story needed to get weirder, Kirchner’s position is now that it’s Nisman’s allies who had him killed. In the statement where she alleged it wasn’t suicide, she wrote, “They used him while he was alive and then they needed him dead.”

Elliott Abrams notes on his CFR blog that there’s little hope for a remotely fair investigation of what really happened here, such is the sad state of Argentina and Latin-American institutions.
