Ariel Armony, president of the Goldfarb Center in the Colby College, stated in journalist María Seoane's article that "it would be more appropriate to speak of a dirty war at a continental level than isolated conflicts at a national scale", and that "in this war the distinction between combatants and civilian population were erased, while national frontiers were subordinated to "ideological frontiers" of the East-West conflict."
Ariel Armony, presiden Goldfarb Center di Colby College, mengatakan dalam Clarin bahwa "lebih tepat bila kita berbicara tentang perang kotor pada tingkat benua daripada konflik-konflik terisolir pada tingkat nasional," dan bahwa "dalam perang ini perbedaan antara kombatan dan penduduk sipil dihilangkan, sementara baas-batas nasional diletakkan di bawah "batas-batas ideologis" dari konflik Timur-Barat."
