The Washington Post reports at length today on the Defense Department's disclosure yesterday of heretofore classified training manuals used in the School of the Americas to instruct Latino troops on killing a wide range of civilians for political purposes.
This is not particularly new news, I have a copy at home of one of these manuals, it was put out by a humans rights group that got their hands on it during all the El Salvador business.
It's as nasty as it sounds...
I don't suppose we need ask the question about whether such manuals were classified to keep their contents away from the enemy...or the American people. Ooops, same thing I guess. Jim Bell jimbell@pacifier.com
