"SH: Why Petraeus in particular? Do you have any idea who the private donor is that’s endowing his spot at CUNY Honors College? SSJ: Apparently the CUNY Board and administration thought bringing a big name ex-general and former CIA head would be a publicity coup — “Look Who’s teaching at CUNY” writ large. It is writ large in letters of blood; this is a certified war criminal in the most literal sense. In addition to Petraeus’s role as former commander of the Iraq/Afghanistan wars, and former head of the CIA, his close associate Col. James Steele was closely connected to the Atlacatl Batallion in El Salvador, which carried out one of the most notorious mass extermination missions of Central America’s dirty wars: the El Mozote Massacre. In Guatemala, military and paramilitary death squads trained, equipped and “advised” by U.S. officers waged a genocidal campaign of extermination against large numbers of Maya indigenous people. This was the legacy deployed by Petraeus in Iraq and Afghanistan. And it goes on; he has been a key architect for the present drive for a U.S. attack on Syria."
