Los Desaparecidos

Following a military coup, upwards of 15,000 Argentineans are kidnapped, tortured, and then murdered (many are thrown from airplanes). Though some US military aid is cut by congress, it is over the objection of the Carter administration. Other institutions that the US plays a major role in, including the World Bank, The Inter-American Development Bank, and the International Monetary Fund, offer Argentina new loans since it has become "credit worthy."
