Thank you. I lived throughout all of that period when so little attention was paid to the horror that our government imposed on the people there. Of course, this went on throughout Latin America with dictators trained at the School of the Americas way, way back.

Jackson Browne's brilliant song Lives in the Balance touches on this and more.

Thank you for posting this while everyone is worked up over how the President reacted to an attack on a secret CIA station in Libya. What a tempest in a teapot under comparison.
