Comments: I've worked
with a few government militaries in central America (Guatemala, El
Salvador and Honduras) and I think that you people should consider
the fact that if these brave men had not done the first class job
that they have done, year to date, the communists would have overrun
Central America and would be on our door step!! Communism has no human
rights groups to worry about. It must be combatted with all available
means, and it was. That's why we won. The courage of these men,
some who were graduates of the "School of the Americas", did the dirty
work, so Americans didn't have to!!
Don't condem the system, because we may need it again.
Thank you.

Questions: What do you have in the Santa Cruz area?
Comments: Great website with important information.
I think that you all did a great job of
putting together important information about how we all indirectly pay
(through our taxes) and are somewhat culpable for the killings of many
innocent people in Latin America. I have written both my senators to show
support for ending financial support of SOA. As soon as you know who to
contact here, I would love to become more involved.
Thank you for designing the website!

Questions: Who conceived and created the SOA?
Comments: I'm glad to know you're on the
web. I haven't made it to a demonstration at SOA
yet but I have numerous friends who have crossed
the line there. One spent 6 months in the clinker
for doing so. I have seen the results of SOA
in Chiapas, Mexico, where I have spent two summers
with the Christian Peacemaker Team.
The low-intensity warfare which the government
is waging against the indigenous people there shows
that the SOA graduates learned very well their
lessons of how to intimidate, rape, drive people
off their land, torture, murder, etc.

Comments: nice guestbook;I have been trying for some time to find
a valid argument to close the SOA.
Even on the SOAW web pages, I have seen nothing but
flimsy arguments supported by correlational events.
Member of Latin American militaries have committed
human rights abuses. Some of them attended the SOA.
Therefore the SOA should be closed. That makes
about as much sense as closing all the Catholic
seminaries because some priests have molested children.
If all that exists is correlational evidence,
there is more that supports the argument that the
SOA promotes human rights by professionalizing the
Latin American militaries which allows for the
establishment of popularly elected governments.
I admit I have an axe to grind.
As an active Catholic, it pains me to see
so many people with good intentions who are wasting
their resources by being fed tons of emotional
misinformation.

Reactions: As a former Army Intelligence soldier who knew,
worked, and lived with SOA instructors and helped develop interrogation
training, I have to say that you are very wrong about the SOA.
I have participated in debates (with Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer) and held
classes, speeches, etc. I am more than willing to talk to you about this,
as well.
