Panetta Down South: The Pentagon’s New Plan to Confront Latin America’s Pink Tide

[Judi Lynn]

9. A lot of U.S. Americans are only beginning to awaken to Latin American history

at the hands of U.S. manipulation very recently, if at all.

Many had hoped the current administration would repair some of the damage wrought by the Bush admimistration, and were horrified to see how things went in Honduras.

Couldn't believe a Democratic President would ever have let the same Pentagon and State Department people step up their support for the true professional crimimal class in Honduras, even as they brought back the notorious death squad leader, Billy Joya, Honduras' version of "Blowtorch Bob" Roberto D'Aubuisson, who should have been imprisoned so long ago.

It was so important seeing your article. Completely worthwhile. Hope many, many others will see it now, and in the following days. It's time we all started tuning into what the U.S. presence has really done in the
Americas.

Thank you.
