| America has it's own terrorist training camp that teaches people to kill, torture and terrorize. It used to be called the SOA (School of the Americas) and was closed down, re-opening in a different name, "Whisc". It is based in Fort Benning, Georgia. and although on the service (on their website) they mention peace-keeping and human rights - their pupils have turned out to be murderers running paramilitary groups involved in massacres. It's graduates account for many of the continent's most notorious torturers, mass-murderers, dictators and state terrorists. - In 1996, the US govt was forced to release 7 of the school's training manuals, manuals that recommended blackmail, torture, execution and the arrest of witnesses' relatives. - Last year, partly as a result of the campaign run by SOA Watch, a few US congressmen tried to shut the school down. They were defeated by 10 votes... and so the House of Representatives voted to close it and then immediately reopen it under a different name. SOURCE: http://tinyurl.com/8ogj (Guardian, UK) |
