It's amazing how places like this fall under the radar. I did some quick searches and didn't find it mentioned here. I figured Lance would have said something about it smile.gif

the school trains hundreds of soldiers each year–supported by millions of US tax payer dollars. Many of these soldiers have been responsible for some of the worst human rights violations and the most brutal terrorist attacks on civilian communities in our hemisphere, including: the massacre of more than 900 people at El Mozote; the Trujillo" chainsaw massacre of over 100 civilians; the execution of six Jesuit priests; the assassination of Archbishop Romero and Bishop Juan Gerardi, and the brutal rape and murder of 4 US churchwomen


Our tax dollars hard at work!

Well, I never claimed that. This place was around when Democrats were in office, too.

This topic is extensively discussed in any of Chomsky's literature...

There is no denying that it has been a long standing position of the US intentionally destabilizing the region for the sole benefit of having US-friendly leaders in Central America (both republican and democrats have done it)...

This is just one example he uses for 1) the erosion of democracy in America (elites with their own agendas, not of that of the people), 2) consistent media propaganda, 3) how our foreign policy not only breeds terrorist fringe groups but also sometime promotes them...

America supports murderous dictators who massacre people. Nothing new.

(And yes, I'm surprised Lance missed it)
