I spoke about my feelings about a school that continues to operate, despite charges that its graduates have engaged in hideous acts of torture and assassination. I talked about my personal experiences in Guatemala. I talked about a classmate, Sister Dianna Ortiz, who was cruelly tortured two years after I left Guatemala. I talked about having visited the town of Santiago Atitlan and then finding out that, three years later, a terrible massacre took place there. In both instances, School of the Americas graduates were implicated in the crimes. I expressed my disappointment with a government that has, to this date, failed to establish an independent truth and reconciliation commission to investigate the training offered at SOA/WHINSEC or the behavior of the school's graduates.
