In a radio interview President, Carlos Saul Menem has called on former military torturers and murderers to confess to priests and not to "rub salt in old wounds" by publicly recounting their deeds. "Publicly coming forward to give testimony is a way of returning to a horrible past that we are trying to forget," he said.

A particularly distasteful example is presented by a case now in the English courts. It involves the American media colossus Time Warner and its news magazine, Time.
