The Next Democratic President MUST close the School of the Americas
http://www.soaw.org/type.php?type=8

It's a federally funded school in Georgia devoted to teaching Latin American armies how to kill poor people in their own countries.

There is no reason for this school to exist anymore(if there ever was), and it was a disgrace that the last Democratic president didn't close it. A disgrace that must not be repeated. Agreed?

1. Bill Clinton kept it open. I doubt that Hillary will close SOA.
Hillary needs to train more death squads and torturers if she is to retake Latin America for the elites.

2. Which is another reason she mustn't be allowed to be our nominee.
The media can't be allowed to force her on us like they forced Kerry on us.

3. I wonder how many will die in Latin America as a result of Hillary's imperialist policies
Thousands have been killed, tortured, displaced, or suffered illness and genetic damage, as a direct result of Bill Clinton's Plan Colombia.

I am sure that Hillary will follow the same path.

5. Some proud alumni of the SOA
Edited on Mon Jan-14-08 06:15 PM by Ken Burch
Roberto D'aubisson, who ordered the murder of Salvadoran Archbishop Romero



I assume you'll all remember this guy:



Chilean general and murderer General Raul Eduardo Iturriaga Neumann



Colombian general and right-wing paramilitary ally General Mario Montoya



Salvadoran Army officer Gonzalo Guevara Cerritos, who was convicted for murdering six Jesuit priests in 1989.



What a great bunch of guys.

Need I say more?
