http://www.fas.org/asmp/library/asm/asm48.html Just as the heavy handed Cold war led to incredible mass murder,torture,corruption and repression so goes the latest war on a tactic,this time,not even an ideology. The provision on "classified activities" is especially troubling because it permits "projects not otherwise authorized by law," in other words, covert actions. This latest round of military aid has made one thing clear: the U.S. military has found a new excuse to extend its reach around the globe, arming regimes that had previously been blacklisted for human rights abuses, weapons proliferation, or brutal conflict.
