Why did Pope Francis when a Priest or Cardinal support the Argentina Junta and has never answered questions about his personal involvement in torture and death of Argentinians?

Pope Francis was a very young Jesuit provincial during the last years of Argentina's "dirty war", and for the first three years of the military junta. There are no credible accusations of his personal involvement in the torture or death of Argentinians.
Rumors of complicity, as provincial, in the arrest and torture of two fellow Jesuits were denied even by the victims themselves. While many of the nation's bishops were complicit, the Jesuit provincial Begoglio did not publicly support the junta. Several survivors, in fact, recount his critical involvement in a kind of 'underground railroad', using the seminary and other resources to save lives.
