from the ny post (where i get all my news of course)

 

Don't be surprised if you have never heard of Marc Gonsalves, Thomas Howes and Keith Stansell; The Post has published only three substantial stories about them in the past five years. All three are U.S. citizens who were working for Pentagon contractor Northrop Grumman when their surveillance plane crashed in a remote Colombian jungle on Feb. 13, 2003. Since then, they have been hostages of the FARC, confined with chains and forced to endure a nightmarish life of isolation, disease and brutality.

Prospects for future hostage releases have dimmed, however. Communication with the FARC hit a rough patch in early March when the Colombian army mounted a cross-border attack on a rebel camp, killing a prominent FARC commander.

 

Well, at least Fairweather liked it.

Prole's just upset that his FARC buddies are takin' a beating. Right-wing death squads? I suppose after 40 years of communist kidnappings, bombings, and murder the folks just get fed up. Go figure. Just like Fujimori did with Shining Path in Peru, Uribe demonstrates that appeasement of these leftist groups is folly.

Ft. Benning is not in Panama

 

FYI - SOA used to be in Panama until it got booted in 1984.

 

The School of the Americas (SOA), in 2001 renamed the “Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation,” is a combat training school for Latin American soldiers, located at Fort Benning, Georgia.

 

Initially established in Panama in 1946, it was kicked out of that country in 1984 under the terms of the Panama Canal Treaty. Former Panamanian President, Jorge Illueca, stated that the School of the Americas was the “biggest base for destabilization in Latin America.” The SOA, frequently dubbed the “School of Assassins,” has left a trail of blood and suffering in every country where its graduates have returned.

 

Over its 59 years, the SOA has trained over 60,000 Latin American soldiers in counterinsurgency techniques, sniper training, commando and psychological warfare, military intelligence and interrogation tactics. These graduates have consistently used their skills to wage a war against their own people. Among those targeted by SOA graduates are educators, union organizers, religious workers, student leaders, and others who work for the rights of the poor. Hundreds of thousands of Latin Americans have been tortured, raped, assassinated, “disappeared,” massacred, and forced into refugee by those trained at the School of Assassins.

Um, you left something out comrade Jim. I've made your statement more accurate:

 

Among those targeted by SOA graduates are communist educators, communist union organizers, communist religious workers, communist student leaders, and others communists who work for the rights of the poor.

 

These right wing killers are almost always a direct and proportional response to the emergence of Marxist/Leninist insurgency. Do you expect people to just roll over? You and Prole don't seem too happy to hear about events in Colombia?
