Argentina English

Monday at half past ten. A beautiful sunny day provides a respite from the cold South Africa in June. In the third game after the National Team in the World, the wife of DT, which has in its hands the potential happiness of 40 million Argentines out of his home in Pretoria.

Veronica Ojeda is 7 days in L'Mae Gazella gated in the Brooklyn area, five minutes of concentration Argentina. While his parents, Charles and Rufina, and the rest of his family (which total about ten people) get on a truck for shopping, the girl from Villa Fiorito pose for photos. The note was quiet distended. Enjoying his first world cup with Diego.

"My goal was to ensure that it was quiet in the World Cup and so far I'm happy because I got it. A calm Diego him shout," says Veronica.

This is the first time that a large part of the family Ojeda made a trip abroad. A few months ago had traveled Maradona, his wife and his in-laws in Paris. Now, in South African land, enjoy the World Cup, the natural beauty and the impressive shopping malls. The clan Ojeda walked on the afternoon of Monday 21 fifty kilometers from Pretoria to Sandton, the most exclusive area in northern Johannesburg. After noon they got in the Square Mandela Square, the largest shopping center in South Africa. Before lunch, Veronica, Rufina, his friend Paola and her sister Heidi, were lost in search of the most exclusive brands. The first point was the local Louis Vuitton, where Diego was the girlfriend of clothing, handbags and shoes, but did not buy anything. Then the women of the family lost more than an hour in another department store.

Children and marriage. Veronica spreads good vibes. It provides, kind, to the interview and photos with 7 DAYS. Despite his good face, there is an issue that still could not overcome completely. Last January he lost a pregnancy of four months of gestation, after a drop in the house she shares with Diego in Ezeiza.

- Are you looking for another child?

"Yes, we are looking for, but for now we have to wait. The doctor told me I had to make many studies before trying again because I have a lot of risk to go through the same thing, and I lost two pregnancies.

- Diego is happy with the idea?

"Sure, he would love to have another child ...

- Are you talking about marriage?

"We're fine and five years ago that we are together and really not an issue we raised.

"But if he asks ...

I do not know, so we are barbarians.

My flag. Veronica Ojeda's throat is complicated. Is that the cold nights in South Africa and the good performances of the Argentina affected his vocal cords. But that, she does not care. Is happy. Not only to live next to their first World Cup Argentina DT. Above all, being the chosen of Diego Maradona during this special time of your life.

In the first three games of the national team, in Johannesburg and Polok-wane, the girl from Villa Fiorito was near her boyfriend in the audience and displayed a huge blue and white flag that he wrote her: "We Diego! Tu Ezeiza family. Always with you. " Put your signature in white letters and the rest of his family, black.

In the match against the Koreans in the Soccer City, Veronica Diego showed his rag while supervising the players warming up in the minutes before the game. The DT distinguished her among the crowd of Argentines and started blowing kisses. Veronica was excited, he pounded his chest and became, for a moment, in one of the happiest fans in Argentina. More relaxed, at the end of the party, Veronica told 7 DAYS: "I made two banners brought to South Africa, one with a heart and the other family of Ezeiza. When Diego saw, touched the heart and threw me a kiss. "

Families. The legend "Your Ezeiza family" is not capricious. While a few meters, Claudia, Dalma and Giannina Benjamin monopolize the eyes of Argentina fans, Veronica waging a quiet battle for the affections of Diego. Claudia and the girls keep a cold war with the bride Maradona official.

- How is your relationship with Dalma and Giannina?

"We have no relationship.

- But at some point tried to have it?

"It is a subject already talked to Diego. All right. They are his daughters. And I am the wife of Diego, not the bride.

The three afternoons off the campus has had since his arrival in Pretoria, were spent with Veronica Diego in the gated community of Brooklyn. In the same place are housed brides Messi, Antonella, and Palermo, Jessica.

"Last Saturday Diego came home all day we had two great" he says.

"Obviously to win, the team is fine, Diego is very well ...

- How to live matches from the stands?

"What happened to my family, but overall I'm quiet. This happens because Diego is quiet.

"In this World Cup, Maradona we are seeing a more calmed down. What influenced you in this change?

I do not know. I think he's sure of himself, that is very important. And that is given by the confidence you have and, obviously, to their players.

The national side defeated the Aztecs 3-1. In the first part, the Apache and Pipit, scorer of the tournament with four goals, scored the score of the Albiceleste, who advanced to the quarter-finals and will face Germany on Saturday. In the second stage, with a goal from another planet, Carlitos became the third and left the selection among the top eight. Hernandez pulled one back for those of Javier Aguirre.


Maradona celebrates a goal by Argentine national team. Argentina is already in the quarterfinals of the World Cup.
About forty million Argentines celebrated a victory against Mexico National Team by 3-1. Carlos Tevez, after a controversial play, scored the first goal of the national assembly. At 33 minutes the run by Diego Maradona widened the gap: Gonzalo Higuain was the cry in heaven. In addition the Apache, with a goal from another planet, celebrated the third and left the selection in the quarterfinals. Hernandez pulled one back for those of Javier Aguirre.

In the first part, notice the superiority of those led by Diego Maradona, who brought up the hierarchy and quickly reflected in the result. The selection and took the lead and took advantage of their stars to get the lead and manage the threads of the meeting.

In addition, the Maradona-led care was devoted to the ball and wait for the moment to strike and leave the whole Aztec KO. And so it was, with a goal that will remain etched in the history of the world, Carlitos closed the task. When the game was going seemed to Lionel Messi, of loose level, would have their chance to scream at the World Cup but returned to get the bow hand.

In this way, Argentina went into the quarterfinals of the World Cup and increased his dream of yelling champion for the first time in history. Mexico is already history. Now we have to be measured at one of the great powers: Germany.

Bring to Martin, "Maradona told his staff. The selected, and had marked the first goal thanks to a Martin Demichelis. Greek had broken the lock with the ball stopped again decisive. His aides, Henry and Mancuso, it was suggested Higuain's income, sweet after triplet to the Koreans. But the DT spoke those three words and ended with the debate. He replaced a military without opportunities and subjected to physical play of central Greece. Lionel Messi was 11 when he saw miss three penalties in the same game, against Colombia in the Copa America in Paraguay. In the last professional match Diego, scored the winner against River with her platinum head. We could have 22 stories. All his colleagues have a shared episode the man who makes rain. For various reasons, has marked their lives. With these stories on his back, the legend came to play the final 10 minutes of the meeting, their first World Cup.

Greece came to not playing. And do not let her play. He set up the scheme more defensive 6-3-1 Cup Beside the German Otto Rehhagel, the proposals of Switzerland and North Korea seemed Cruyff's Barcelona. Two sides (Vyntra and Torosidis), three plants (Moras, Papadopoulos and Kyrgiakos) and a stamp on Messi Papastathopoulos number 19. She followed him to the bathroom. At Euro 2004, won by the Greeks with the same conservative idea, the coach had ordered four personal persecution against France. In front of the barricade, Katsouranis, Karagounis Tziolis and a scoundrel of the year zero, blocked the Argentine midfielder. And upstairs, alone, Samaras. Needed to win to qualify and executed the tactics of the bat, all hanging from the crossbar. But no one will criticize the slacker of Otto. That gave him immunity Euro forever.

With a team without shooting, Argentina took patience and uncheck to move the ball until the final 20 meters. But when it came to the area, rushed to the last pass. There was very little space and rival many people to combine speed with precision. The artificial-turf ball combo was an accomplice to the Greeks because it prevented the changes from the front, ideal for breaking up the pressing. There is nothing more humiliating for the player who can not control the ball. Surprised by the strong personal mark Messi cost him adjust to this new scenario. Agüero Veron and understood what was the alternative path-touch short and dribbling near the area. Both good answers demanded Tzorvas goalkeeper. However, the imprecision of Bolatti in the first pass, the timidity of Clement to go on the attack and the low weight of Greek mastodon Milito silhouetted against the possibilities of translating the possession in danger. Meanwhile, Leo had his implacable marker to the right to make his move recorded. Two take off in a row without missing the unhinged. Retreated to the midfield, but not to touch but to have it. Faced with the passivity of the Uzbek Irmatov, the Greeks took turns harmless breach areas. Unlike their previous matches, fought with intensity, without giving spaces. The last minutes of the first half were played at the pace of tough Karagounis, replaced due to injury. Greece went to the locker room without kicking on goal and goalkeeper as a figure, thanks to its four covered.

In the end, players changed but not their project. In Argentina, who never gave up the role, had trouble creating a hazard. Veron's influence by spending more participation by the resolution. Agüero got back, and had trouble turning to the Greek flag rigorous. Milito was still moving, but could not find his place. Important complementary player, Maxi could not be the solution. Clemente were encouraged to project, but did not finish well. Messi was trapped by the unbearable Papastathopoulos. It began to be felt fatigue and lack of spark. In the first 25 minutes of the second half, Greece only committed two violations. Always with ten players behind the ball, hitting no longer needed to stop the game. In addition, dared to throw two balls they found wrong with the defense stop Argentina for failing to make a personal mark Samaras with the team in attack. Demichelis lost a hand to hand and the striker was only for the left-footed shot just wide. Tzorvas gained an incredible ball Bolatti and, like their counterparts in Nigeria and Korea, became a great hero of his team. The zero-zero guaranteed first place in the group, but the selection I wanted to beat this rival that wanted to play. The match went into zone changes. Maradona included Maxi Di Maria for the left-hander to impose numerical supremacy and overflow to the left along with Clement. But not enough to give creativity and change of pace. Diego Agüero took the exhausted and put Pastore, the most glamorous player on campus, talking football terms. Exudes class and elegance. Everything he does is simple, with grace and aesthetic sense. Palermo's Italian Hitch took 30 seconds to get into the game. Greece did not have it in their catalog. Argentina is ranked 23 on the back of Tziolis and began distributing the ball with speed and intelligence. Interpreted the concept of play and move to re-engage in the play. The main income benefited from Pastore was Messi. As before with Pablo Aimar, Leo understands very well with the players passing the ball quickly. As the income of Aguero to Korea, the coach's decision decisively influenced the game. Again reading the game and his intuition led him to touch the right key. The above Argentina found he had searched below. Demichelis won top and, after a rebound in Milito, burned Tzorvas arc. Revenge was not long for the other Martin to Korea after his error. The goal dismantled the Greeks. Difficult when they play to keep the results show its limitations when they play for change. No idea they like and leave a mark. Forgot 19 Leo Messi and finally wrought havoc in the last 20 meters. He could premiere as a scorer in the tournament. After a big play, dented a barrel of a left-footed shot. It seems that when this guy made a goal in South Africa, will fall off the stage. Pastore served as conductor and dictated the tempo. Veron joined the circuit and there was game time for the "ole, ole." It was ten minutes. Diego could make one more change. A comfortable Milito had no match. Preferred starting point to get delayed by surprise, but the team needed positional reference in that attack permanently. Neither he nor his companions found a mutually reinforcing way. But no one can criticize lack of enthusiasm Inter striker.

Your income thrilled the fans. Headed in a couple of balls, played back as many left-footer and a pineapple. In the 89th minute, Pastore, Di Maria and Messi produced one big play touch and tap. Tzorvas denied a goal against Lionel. Who dropped the rebound? The man who makes rain. He hit the inside edge of the right foot and drove down. Once again, rewrote his own book. Many wept, others laughed, everyone cheered. No way. This guy is touched. For the next miracle, I know. The password is "bring me Martin.

Among elephants, giraffes and lions, Pa-mela David spent a full day in South Africa. In a reservation a few miles from Johannesburg, the beautiful brunette sat for seven days while working and enjoy the World Cup. The model will participate in the parade of Roberto Giordano and is hosted by the Bar de Quilmes, which is assembled a few meters from the stadium where Maradona plays Selection. That is the meeting point of Argentina fans. Pamela was with them a few hours before the game and then entered the stadium as a fan more.

- Do men approach him with other intentions?

"At first no one was coming. Now I notice that ex reappear, friends who invite me to drink. It's all good, but today I have no desire to have commitments with anybody. Now I feel larger. In my day maiden was free. I have no desire to dumb or something serious. When one comes with broken dishes is as more defensive. If provided, it's all good, but I am not to give anything to anyone. I'm in a very selfish phase of my life, I have no desire to stop doing things for anyone.

- Will the psychologist?

"I've never done therapy. I needed. With my work I have no time to break me, and my house whenever I have to have a smile from ear to ear, never a pale. Last year was "The Fox" theater at night and midnight Artaza Nito TV. I never had time, not because he did not wish, to lower, falling.

- Are you a therapist?

"Yes, but I have wanted to meet a woman. Oh, what a title! No, really, I know a woman therapist, because I have very good chemistry with women. I'm very much a woman and I love being a woman. I have one friend of the environment, which is Celina Rucci, the rest are old friends with whom I get along great.

Let's talk about football, how he saw the selection on the court?

- What did you think Maradona suit?

"I loved the look of Diego, is that the girls they can. As coach of the national team, I'm one of the first to criticize him. I do not know why, but it criticized before the World Cup. I was too committed to it. I am around the school that says you have to prepare, but I covered her mouth and is well recognized. Hopefully, we tape the mouths of many.

- What impression did South Africa?

"I still do not have much time to travel, which I do these days. I was struck by the kindness of all, the effort to please, to serve you well. I'm intrigued to know the Kruger Park, but I'm a little scared because they say it is malaria. Like I brought the pills to take. For my life, I'm always hyper from my house, my son and work, I can not believe I'm locked in the hotel zapping in my spare time.

The assembly of Gualeguaychú rise this afternoon to block the international route 136 in place of Arroyo Verde for 60 days, in their protest against the installation of a Finnish Pastera Uruguay River waiting for governments on both sides of River Uruguay conduct joint monitoring to determine if the plant pollutes.
Neighbors ahead with the release of routes charge the government that meets the monitoring provided for by the tribunal in The Hague, who blamed Uruguay of violating a binational treaty, and expressed concern about the resignation of Jorge Taiana to the Foreign Ministry.
The cut to passage in the way the bridge was 1326 days and had, in short, zero results. Although the assembly agreed with the government the temporary suspension of the strike, issued a warning: "It is not a blank check," they said, and stressed that their protest against the Pastera UPM, Botnia ex, persist with demonstrations the side of the road.
At 13 there will be a ceremony in which a text is read in a ceremony that will take place at Kilometer 28, Route 136, which, according to La Nacion published, and marked the release a "gesture", and "not a denial." To not generate disputes, opponents of the agreement by majority Gualeguaychú will not be there.
The decision to lift the cut will be revised on August 19, when he met two months and the Assembly planned to evaluate whether the protest again on alert or on the side of the road.
Assembly members met yesterday with regional officials of the National Highway for security arrangements before the release of the route, and placed a guard-rayl to protect the refuge, located 15 kilometers from the General San Martin International Bridge, which crosses Fray Bentos on the Uruguayan.
Juan Veronesi, one of the historic, remarked that the inhabitants of the south of Entre Rios asked the government "to ensure that it remains firm raised in The Hague against polluting situations, to ensure checks and monitoring within the plant" of the Finnish UPM Former Botnia.
In addition, further admitted that worry out of government Taiana. "He understood perfectly the situation, the continued long. It was he who gave the green light to the submission to The Hague to defend the position against Botnia Argentina," he said.
For his part, Assemblyman Raul Almeyda told Radio Mitre that the main interest that led the people to raise the transit court was "that the joint monitoring compliance raised by the failure of The Hague."

The preparation of the week sometimes can have its revenues, as in the case of Argentina to Nigeria and South Korea, or not, as happened with France in the loss to Mexico. Domenech, DT French, had a nice move with the ball board at floor level, but the cross from the right of Ribery was not good enough and therefore the action did not end in what might be the draw. Returning to Argentina, it is good to see Diego Maradona is making today will result in a folder is not widely used in the playoffs. In the World Cup, the national team scored five goals, three of them stop the ball and registered trademark of the moves made by Jose Mourinho at Inter.

Let us pause in Heinze's goal to Nigeria. Mark on the African side in the corners area and makes its 11 players in the area, two in the posts. The corner kick Veron and Heinze kicked him stood outside the area, as if to fill the position of the bounce. In the absence of fixed marks was Samuel who took Obasi (he was fouled in attack) because it was the only one (front) could block the entry of Heinze. There were five players from Argentina (Heinze, Samuel, Demichelis, Tevez and Higuain) against Nigeria 11, and yet it was a goal. Parallel to that Veron career began to take to run the corner to the penalty spot Heinze started running in front of the bow and a very good header could not be saved by Odiah, who marked this club.

That play was drawn from the laboratory of Mourinho. Inter, under its cycle, used it often. It was no accident that Samuel is also responsible for blocking rival brands that, instead of Heinze, who nod to the race on the penalty as Lucio. The Brazilian defender scored a goal and the September 23, 2009, by the Italian League, in the victory against Napoli Inter 3-1, but the corner was executed by Sneijder from the left. In the loss to Roma (1-2), also calcium, tried again but failed. No action is necessarily always have a foul by Samuel. In the Champions League last Thiago Motta who was pulled and turned in the air to Branislav Ivanovic in the duel with Chelsea.

Against South Korea knew that Argentina would have several foul or corners, so that the action of the ball stop could serve to mark the sticky oriental. And as against Nigeria, opened the game with a free throw. No Veron for the execution, Maxi Rodriguez and Messi stopped. The Barcelona player scored the play "No. 2", which included the definition Demichelis with an entry similar to that of Heinze to Nigeria (booting from the position of the rebound in front of the area) did not have that It was to end in goal from Park Chu Young.

Higuain's first goal was also born of a ball stop ready. Free kick Maxi Messi, Rodriguez returned to the outside and center to the penalty, so that the comb Burdisso at the far post. Who was there? Higuain, who headed in a pique Jung Sung Ryong beat. The code followed in the second half. After 20 minutes, Messi faked a free kick on goal but attended with a vertical center Heinze, who stung from the outside to the near post. Heinze appeared alone, without opposition, if it had been necessary was a goal. You may not always succeed, but for the Argentine team is good to add a useful resource, one more to the pursuit of victory.

Inter's Argentine defender Javier Zanetti of Italy, relegated from the World Cup 2010 Germany 2006 and South Africa at the last minute shift selectors, said today that "not expecting anything" Nestor Pekerman or Diego Maradona, respectively.

"I did everything that was in my power to be and so I have nothing to reproach myself with, the decision of whether or not dependent on others. But even I have something to reproach or Pekerman or Maradona, I did not expect anything them, "Zanetti shot.

To the right side of the formation of the list of players from Argentina to go to South Africa was "a decision that corresponded to Diego and he made his choice."

"I have clear what happened, but I keep it for me," Zanetti highlighted in a conversation with Fox Sports, suggesting that their exclusion resulted from a situation extrafutbolística.

The Buenos Aires found that now "we have to give strength to those who are there because they have the ability to give joy to an entire country."

Meanwhile, speaking time for the performance of his replacement in the right of defense, Jonas Gutierrez, said "about doing the best he can in a position that is not theirs."

"It is a multipurpose player, a long journey, which focuses its efforts on defending the industry and pass it to attack when circumstances permit," he analyzed.

Finally, he confessed that if the group manages to turn albiceleste Olympics will be "very happy, like the rest of the Argentines."

Juan Torres lost her soldier son in Afghanistan. He believed that the heroin mafia killed him. Then he discovered he had been a drug that gave by the Army. He managed to ban the drug worldwide.

Juan Torres leans over the crown of dried flowers, touch the flag of the strip and the stars and says something. "I talk to my son, I speak" to the big head. " I say he is okay. I'm fine. His mother and sister are too. And I will continue the fight for him, "says Juan glancing the long list of boys from Chicago killed in recent wars, from Vietnam to Afghanistan, engraved on the stone monument erected in the heart of the Windy City. "Fiiiijate" he remarked with his unmistakable accent of Cordoba, "are all Hispanic surnames. Hispanics are the cannon fodder. " And he leans back on the small crown of dried flowers and whispering again. "I told my son not to worry. I will continue fighting for no more Hispanic kids have to go to war in order to progress. I told him I will not go as he cheated. I told him he did not die for nothing, "the Argentine told me when we left the place and walked down Wabash Avenue while the spring wind sweeps us as if we were leaves.

John managed to defeat the Pentagon and one of the most powerful international pharmaceutical companies in the world. No longer able to supply the soldiers, or anyone, the malaria pills that ended up killing his son John / John while serving with his service as a soldier in the U.S. Army in Afghanistan. Waiting for the trial is over they began to collect the compensation that will put together a foundation dedicated to helping soldiers returning with psychological conditions after the war because the Army does not use as "guinea pigs" by providing medicines that are not are proven conclusively. But above all, in order to continue its campaign to alert children to schools in poor neighborhoods Hispanics who do not be fooled by the armed forces recruiters. "That is the crux of everything. They take the kids while they are still minors. They promise that they will be heroes of films that are going to pay for college, they will travel. And it's all a lie. If I want to charge until the loan it had given my son to study! But his career was over long ago and did not know what happened to the money. But just wanted to charge me. It's all a big lie! "John continues to enjoy while we got on his brown truck and prepares to drive to his home in Schillerr Park, a half hour from downtown Chicago.

------------------------------------------------.

The last day that John / John was alive he left the base at Bagram, 70 miles of Kabul, and went directly to one of the many shops that sell the Afghan armed American soldiers. He bought two DVD movies illegally recorded and crossed with some colleagues on the basis that they were going to buy something else. In these stores you can get the best quality heroin. Afghanistan is the largest producer of poppies in the world, the plant from which opium is extracted which is then refined and turned into heroin. "My son was very concerned about everything that happened in Bagram. He told me when he came home. And I asked him not to meddle, I said it was too dangerous, "says John, the father.

John / John was an accountant and was responsible for organizing the movement of supplies and food from the base. Usually worked at night but that July 11, 2004 had changed the guard for a special work to be done the next morning. Still could not sleep. He had very strong pains in the chest and stomach. 

His teammates say they first played a game of virtual football on a videogame with a Mexican partner. They faced the teams of Argentina and Mexico. Messi won the leading. He made plans with your friend's birthday the following night. Then he began to see the movie "21 Grams" by Mexican director Inarritu. Sometime between 4:15 and 6:00 am he saw a sergeant out of the cabin with his head bowed, a towel on his neck and carrying his M-16 rifle. "I have damn Haji guard," he told the sergeant that he was surprised that John / John were walking at that hour there. Was supposed to record the entry of Afghan workers from the base (they call them in a derogatory Haji).

At about seven o'clock we heard a shot from the area of the baths. They found the body of John / John in a pool of blood. He had flown the head. Beside the body found two pictures of her with her parents and her sister, Veronica, and a suicide note written in a disorderly manner in a role that would have found lying in the bathroom. "I'm sorry. I had no other choice. I come to suffer so much pain in the last year and I can not take it anymore. The pain in the chest and stomach is getting more intense and there is no doctor who can help me. Finally I will be in peace and without pain, "the letter said. Add a line to Liz, his girlfriend of Houston, "who always saw her as my wife and the mother of my children" and asks his mother, Susan, to make it impossible for Liz finished college. The letter was withheld by the Pentagon for over a year and a half.

"I was convinced he had been killed. I thought he had gotten the heroin mafia, where many soldiers are committed, and had been murdered, "explains Juan while drinking coffee in the living room of his house. "First they told me not to open the drawer of my son because his head was shattered. And I ignored them. When I saw him was over. There I became more paranoid. And four months I was told that everything was "under review" but I explained nothing. It was when I said "I do not I can stay with their arms crossed." And I went to protest outside Bush's ranch in Texas with a sign saying "The CID Killed my son." The CID is the Criminal Investigation Department of the Army. There he met Cindy Sheehan "the mother peace" and became involved in antiwar protests around the country. We contacted members of Congress from Illinois, Senator Richard Durbin and Rep. Rahm Emanuel, who is now chief of staff of the White House. "At first I thought that would help me but then I realized that you were going through all the information you gave them the Pentagon and finally told me that" the investigation into the death of his son was done properly, "says Juan.

That time is that the Army gives the conclusions of the investigation and the suicide letter appears. Juan suspected even more. His son was the strength of a thousand horses and would not kill himself because of severe pain in the chest or stomach. "I do not close it anywhere. It was a few days to leave the Army permanently. It'll end the contract he had signed and had plans to travel with his girlfriend and get married. They would go to Argentina. They loved. I could not believe it had been shot, "continues counting while breathing deep sighs strong and not to let the tears escape.

In one of the manifestations found Shaun McCann documentary that offers an independent investigation and turn it into a film. In May 2006 we went together to look for evidence to Afghanistan. At the base of Bagram were given a tour like tourists and they said they had changed the place and the bathrooms had been transferred to another sector. "All I wanted was to pray near where my son was dead. And even that could, "throws down the tone of voice. But I could see that what the heroin trade that his son had told him was true. A boy offered opium and heroin and a moment later saw as an officer of the base out and bought a large package of drugs on the streets of New York could cost tens of thousands of dollars.

But returned to Afghanistan without clear answers. Early evidence with which they could begin to determine why the death of John / John appeared only six months later in an envelope that arrived anonymously. Someone from inside the U.S. military had decided that he knew the truth.

Susana Ferro Juan met when they were just teenagers in the city of Cordoba. Soon, at age 16, Susan was pregnant with Veronica, the couple's first child is now an architect in Houston, Texas. John was 20. He had learned tooling but worked as an inspector in the municipality. It was 1980 and barely raised money to survive. It was when she became pregnant again Susana Juan / John. Looking for a way out of the situation and some friends offered to come to Houston. When four months old baby decided to emigrate. "At first I worked in restaurants and do things I looked for stamping. But I soon discovered that it was very good money serving banquets at hotels. And there I met some managers were recommending me. The truth is that I liked him because he was very reliable to work and because he played good football. He had played in the lower Belgrano de Cordoba, my team's heart, and in the past Peñarol the province. Here I played in several semi-professional teams. And you know that my son had inherited the skill. He played super well. Always looking to play. Shorty was a very skillful with the ball, "John continues to enjoy while we're back in the brown truck to make a tour of Sheridan Avenue that borders Lake Michigan and goes to the most sophisticated neighborhoods of Chicago.

At 96, Veronica was about to enter college and John / John would soon. John needed more money. Decided to accept the offer to come to work in a hotel in Chicago in which he tripled his salary. With pain left Susan and the kids to work 12 or 14 hours per day and make a difference. "I had no life. Rest days took the opportunity to do some extra gig. And all of that away from me Susana finished, though we still have very good relationship, but not boys. They came to visit and stayed here for seasons. It was when John / John made the serious mistake, "says John when we went through the neighborhood of houses where people live like Michael Jordan or Ophra Winfrey.

Juan / John had been persuaded by an Army recruiter visited his school. And although he still had three months to age 18 signed a contract to enlist. When the father told him it was too late. The Army did not accept the argument that the contract was illegal because he had signed a minor without parental consent. The worst was the fine print. Down there, going, said the one-year contract could be extended to eight years if the country's situation required it. John / John went to Kosovo and returned without major problems. He finished his studies and graduated as an accountant. But he was about to marry Liz called back. This time to go to Afghanistan.

Susana's mother, sent several requests for information on the death of his son through the Freedon of Information Act did not answer him the first two, but months after filing the third came on with a nine-page classified report of the psychiatrist Robert Ensley Army written in June 2005. "That's when you open the Pandora's box," says Juan. Ensley says that John / John was a soldier more mature than the average, competent and sociable. And at the end mentions the medication he was taking: Lariam, or mefloquine hydrochloride, an anti-malarial drug known for its devastating side effects.

In the '80s, the Walter Reed Institute of Army Research developed the pill, and gave him the license to the Swiss drugmaker Roche. It was a great solution for the Pentagon. Each time he sent soldiers to a tropical area had to spend vast fortunes on treatments for malaria for which you have to take a pill every day. Lariam is provided once a week. But it is quite dangerous medicine. It causes hallucinations, major depression and induces suicide.

In 1997 and formed the first organization of relatives of people killed because of this drug. And in 2002, a series of investigations of two UPI reporters proved that the medicine is prescribed to hundreds of thousands of soldiers, social workers and tourists, "five times may cause mental problems that lead to suicide than any other treatment for prevent malaria as the antibiotic doxycline, for example. " The Walter Reed Institute itself published in a 2004 report that "at least 25% of those taking mefloquine as a prophylactic dose experienced neurological and psychiatric adverse effects." California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein was able to assemble a committee of inquiry on drugs in Congress, but did not reach any concrete conclusions. The then general manager of health of the Army, James Peake, told the committee that "we found no evidence between the use of Lariam and suicide soldiers. Only 4 of the 24 soldiers who committed suicide this year in Iraq belonged to units that were given this drug. " A few months later and following a request for information from Torres, the Army acknowledged that suicides because of the pill were not 4 but 11.

The report appeared stronger in Malaria Journal in March 2008 signed by the prestigious Remington Nevin infectious diseases. He says that about 10% of 11 725 troops in Afghanistan who took Lariam had severe neurological effects. And that speaks for the first time that these effects are enhanced by the use of some other drugs in parallel.

"John / John was very systematic. If his superior had told him to take a pill he did correctly without escaping any dose. His friends told me. They did not take the pill because it gave them pain but my son blindly trust in doctors. It was when she began having severe stomach pains and chest, "says Juan.

Last year John and Susan decided to hire the lawyer Louis Font, a former U.S. army officer who asked the low disillusioned by the war and is responsible to defend conscientious objectors. Font managed to transmit to him all the medical records and service of John / John. And there they found the key. A cause of stomach cramps, a doctor at the Army gave him some pills to calm down the acidity. It was what aggravated the consequences of Lariam. The two drugs together are fatal. They cause inflammation in the chest, hallucinations and suicidal tendencies. These are effects that appear suddenly and cause extreme pain on the person. Finally, a federal judge took the case noting that by law can not sue the Army but at Roche which produces the drug. When the Pentagon was officially announced that it would not provide his soldiers Lariam "because it is a drug with dangerous side effects." Roche Lariam retired three months ago the market. The American press speaks of Cordoba Juan Torres as "the father courage" who managed to defeat the Pentagon. Last week in Chicago premiered the documentary "Drugs and Death at Bagram" by Shaun McCann describes the path taken by the Argentine.

"And I'm more relaxed. I think that by the end of the year and will have the trial resolved and I'm going to start working with the foundation that I create on behalf of my son. I'm not against the U.S. military but do not want them to continue lying to the Hispanic kids or their parents. As I always say, John / John gave me a mandate. No more boys who are treated as beasts of war, "says John and kisses the ring of his son who is six years since his right hand. Then look at the photo of that bright-eyed boy, breathing fast and deep sighs.
