  Probably because there isn't really contention over the issue at the present between the two countries involved. Individual people in Argentina may well believe that they have a right to the Malvinas, but the official Argentinian government has not asserted any claim to them since 1982 (when the Falklands war occurred, for anyone unaware of it :)

    You're wrong. The claim over the islands was laid out in Argentina's constitution in 1985, which you can read here (on page 22): http://docs.google.com/gview?a=v&q=cache:RZIivRFbg_8J:www.argentina.gov.ar/argentina/portal/documentos/constitucion_ingles.pdf+argentine+constitution+malvinas&hl=en&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEEShUH91QYYOXCkCLKxaTiWUFuyjdDFDJKjbwuNLdF3uGVSN0IZQaSdonx4LZ96b4JaGqAb6emoRrVT9zTk5gt_P-eYCPMbwEDLjCK-4poP4goad3L7BxH2w4OfiZ9-_2VGBiFYSu&sig=AFQjCNFvqNfUFFLnd1DpLUR0MYcb0Q5_dA http://docs.google.com/gview?a=v&q=cache:RZIivRFbg_8J:ww... Additionally, the president of Argentina raised the issue with the UK Prime Minister in their meeting in Chile earlier this year. So anyway, Argentina claims the Falklands/Malvinas as their territory, but your or my opinion on the claim is irrelevant to the discussion. My point is, that maps.google.com.ar, the Argentine version of Google maps, shows a map supporting the British side of the claim, which is inconsistent with the policy described by the article.
