The judge overseeing the case of the AMIA bombing in Argenitna has been impeached. Even a little smidgen of justice in this case is a hopeful sign.

Judge in '94 Buenos Aires blast impeached

BUENOS AIRES -- A federal judge who investigated the 1994 terrorist bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires was impeached Wednesday, the latest turn in a botched case that has failed to lead to a single conviction and robbed Argentines of the hope for justice.

A nine-member Council of Magistrates found Juan Jose Galeano guilty of ethical and legal violations, particularly of paying a defendant in the case $400,000.

That defendant was expected to implicate several Argentine police officers accused of being the "local connection" in a bombing plot with alleged links to Iran and the Lebanon-based Hezbollah militia. Instead, the case was thrown out last September and all the defendants were freed.
