To determine the validity of these accusations, the commission (whose seven members, mostly lawyers and jurists, are from the U.S., Costa Rica, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, El Salvador and Venezuela) is conducting discreet interviews with government officials, opposition leaders, clergymen, political detainees and even ex-President Isabelita herself, who is under house arrest at an estate near Buenos Aires. There seems little chance that the commission can complete its report before the O.A.S General Assembly next meets in October. It will be more than a year before the body can debate whether the charges that Argentina is abusing the rights of its people are justified or if they are, as Vide la claims, the result of a "defamation campaign" launched by the forces of international terrorism.
