We're fucked for the foreseeable future...

39. Historically we have gotten away with supporting Latin American dictators and others

who torture. TRAINING them to torture! The only difference here is that we are doing it directly in our name.

That is the problem with ignoring the wake we leave behind in the name of National Security.

For a long long long time we have been training torturers and ignoring those that try to pry our collective eyes open.

this statement from the School of Americas Watch lays it all out.
"Since 1946, the SOA has trained over 64,000 Latin American soldiers in counterinsurgency techniques, sniper training, commando and psychological warfare, military intelligence and interrogation tactics. These graduates have consistently used their skills to wage a war against their own people. Among those targeted by SOA graduates are educators, union organizers, religious workers, student leaders, and others who work for the rights of the poor. Hundreds of thousands of Latin Americans have been tortured, raped, assassinated, “disappeared,” massacred, and forced into refugee by those trained at the School of Assassins."
