Can you please detail these "gross distortions and meaningless associations" for us?

As hundreds of pages of documentation compiled by the pressure group SOA Watch show, Latin America has been ripped apart by its alumni.

In June this year, Colonel Byron Lima Estrada, once a student at the school, was convicted in Guatemala City of murdering Bishop Juan Gerardi in 1998. Gerardi was killed because he had helped to write a report on the atrocities committed by Guatemala's D-2, the military intelligence agency run by Lima Estrada with the help of two other SOA graduates. D-2 coordinated the "anti-insurgency" campaign which obliterated 448 Mayan Indian villages, and murdered tens of thousands of their people. Forty per cent of the cabinet ministers who served the genocidal regimes of Lucas Garcia, Rios Montt and Mejia Victores studied at the School of the Americas.

In 1993, the United Nations truth commission on El Salvador named the army officers who had committed the worst atrocities of the civil war. Two-thirds of them had been trained at the School of the Americas. Among them were Roberto D'Aubuisson, the leader of El Salvador's death squads; the men who killed Archbishop Oscar Romero; and 19 of the 26 soldiers who murdered the Jesuit priests in 1989. In Chile, the school's graduates ran both Augusto Pinochet's secret police and his three principal concentration camps. One of them helped to murder Orlando Letelier and Ronni Moffit in Washington DC in 1976.

Argentina's dictators Roberto Viola and Leopoldo Galtieri, Panama's Manuel Noriega and Omar Torrijos, Peru's Juan Velasco Alvarado and Ecuador's Guillermo Rodriguez all benefited from the school's instruction. So did the leader of the Grupo Colina death squad in Fujimori's Peru; four of the five officers who ran the infamous Battalion 3-16 in Honduras (which controlled the death squads there in the 1980s) and the commander responsible for the 1994 Ocosingo massacre in Mexico.

It is so difficult to live with Muslims.

It's quite depressing, isn't it? There are over 1 billion Muslims in the world and this is a problem not only in Denmark. In England, they are influencing education, in France, the government's policies, in India they are fighting Hindus, in Pakistan they are causing havoc. It looks as if the strict Danish immigration policy will be copied in many, if not most, Western countries, including ours.

If they are distortions, I'm not sure where that would be.

Not worth the trouble. Like you, I don't do such "work" for those who will not see.

Besides, they are quite obvious.

No, I look at it from a different perspective; we are responsible for "training" those soldiers, and taking no responsibility for them after they are trained is not justified. Why are we in the business of training soldiers from other countries that end up performing atrocious actions against their own citizens?

You find that acceptable, but I do not, big georgeob.

Simple statistics will show you that most of the ...

There is a bit of difference. The Jews in Germany were established citizens. The Jews in the USA are established citizens. This discussion is about illegals. Is that too complex for you?

You're what's truly offensive, Gob1. A rank apologist for murder, torture and mayhem. But then you were part and parcel of a good chunk of it, weren't you?

You're actually pretty good at spewing out this propaganda, talking around the edges, without ever really addressing the issues. Just a little Goebbels.

America is not evil, but a large number of the leaders and their policies have been and when you defend this evil that makes you just as evil.

... I usually just can past them.

big georgeob, Our schools really train our kids to become rapists and child molesters? Since when?

If that's your observation, shouldn't you be contacting the authorities?

No, you have it wrong; the army teaches to kill. Schools do not teach children to rape or molest others. If you can't see this difference, I'm afraid we will just have to agree to disagree.
