Guatemala Nun

Daniel talks with Dianna Ortiz, an American nun who says she was raped and tortured in Guatemala in 1989. Sister Dianna is in the eighth day of a vigil in Washington, D.C.'s Lafayette Park, which is across the street from The White House. She says that the U.S. government has information about her torturers and is keeping a vigil to pressure the U.S. government to release its investigative files on her case, and others like it. The Clinton administration has said that once the Intelligence Oversight Board has reviewed her case, the appropriate information will be made available.
