'Dirty war' victim again missing

BUENOS AIRES — Jorge Julio Lopez has become known as the man who was disappeared twice.
The first time was in 1976, during the dark days of Argentina's military dictatorship, when he was a labor activist. Lopez survived the beatings, humiliations and electric shock, and was released after three years, apparently judged not a threat. He went on with his life, reared two children and seldom spoke about the ordeal. Lopez vanished for the second time in September, after he gave crucial testimony in a case that helped seal the conviction of his chief torturer, a former police commander with a sadistic streak.
