SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS: NICE SOUNDING NAME?
In the state of Georgia, (U.S.A.) the School of the Americas trains death squads. torture squads and combat troupe who operate in Latin America Assassinations, murders of nuns, massacres of entire villages, etc. have been performed by graduates of the school. U.S. taxpayers foot the bill for this embarrassing attrocity.. Congress has debated closing it down several times. (Remember El Salvador?) * In the last few months S.O.A. watch has added over 100 names to .. regime's repression in A Indonesians in on, in the list of S.O.A. graduates that went on, on to commit on, human rights abuse and to launder dry money at Ft. Benning, GA.
This info has been kept quiet in our "democratic society." The purpose of this drumming is to say: We don't approve of our government exporting torture and violence.
