Since Dodd is spoken as a VP candidate, I figure it would be somewhat noteworthy.

As aired in June of 1984. Roberto d'Aubuisson was a Salvadoran political figure and allegedly the leader and main organizer of the infamous "Death Squads" of El Salvador.

Dodd calls d'Aubuisson a murderer and terrorist
d'Aubuisson calls Dodd a lair and incompetent

d'Aubuisson got 46% in then El Salvador Presidential election, but that didn't stop d'Aubuisson from pulling out the El Salvador version of the "red/blue map" (d'Aubuisson also says things like 'unlike him (Dodd) I believe in America, free markets, and President Reagan.

Clearly Rove was watching that night.

Koppell play devil advocate with both sides.

New York Times' Raymond Bonner who reported on a massacre of civilians in El Mozote, El Salvador for the paper joins the discussion in the second part.

I found this on some beta tapes I brought at a flea market ... I've written it time and again, check out those flea markets, thrift stores.
