"At a time when old bones have new political significance, a profound grief and a hope for justice intertwined in San Juan Comalapa [Guatemala] last week [Sept. 2003] as archaeologists began exhuming mass graves believed to be the result of army massacres during the longest of Central America's Cold War conflicts." (CHICAGO TRIBUNE) This article discusses how the uncovering of Guatemalans who disappeared during the nation's civil war "has become all the more poignant as Guatemalans weigh the presidential campaign of Efrain Rios Montt, the former dictator during whose 1982-83 rule the worst of the bloodshed occurred."
