Summary

Italian Judge Names 13 in Abduction Tied to CIA. By The Associated Press. June 24, 2005. ET. Rome (AP) — An Italian judge ordered the arrests of 13 people in the purported CIA abduction of an imam, who then was sent to Egypt, the Milan prosecutor’s office said Friday. An Italian official said earlier the 13 were CIA officers involved in U.S. anti-terrorism efforts. The 13 are suspected of seizing Osama Moustafa Hassan Nasr, known as Abu Omar, on the streets of Milan on Feb.17, 2003, and sending him to Egypt, where he reportedly was tortured, Milan prosecutor Manlio Claudio Minale said in a statement.

A la hora de hablar de un “muerto tan excepcional” como Jesús Galíndez y de la memoria literaria que de dicho personaje creó Vázquez Montalbán (Galíndez, 1990), es importante recordar que la memoria colectiva de los muertos es uno de los problemas que más define las historias española, vasca y latinoamericana actuales. En España, desde el desentierro e identificación de los muertos republicanos a las víctimas del terrorismo vasco y la inmigración africana, los muertos siguen hablando de formas fantasmáticas e incluso ventrílocuas. Cuando en 2005, Mariano Rajoy, líder del Partido Popular, y Francisco Alcaraz, presidente de la Asociación de Víctimas del Terrorismo (AVT), acusaron al presidente de gobierno socialista José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero de “traicionar a los muertos” al optar por el diálogo con ETA, Juan Aranzadi señaló, recordando el adagio italiano de “traduttore, tradittore”, que “sólo puede llamar ‘traidor a los muertos’ quien presume… de ser un buen ‘traductor de los muertos’, de poseer el monopolio de la correcta interpretación del sentido de su muerte”. Aranzadi concluía que “[E]s quien invoca políticamente a los muertos, quien presupone fraudulentamente que les es fiel, que se puede ser políticamente fiel a los muertos, quien inevitablemente les [sic] traiciona”. Aranzadi recordaba que muertos de ETA como Carrero Blanco, Yoyes (Dolores González) y Ernest Lluch son políticamente tan diferentes que es imposible “traducirlos” con voz única.
