Still love murica? If you do, youre a psychopath. Ever heard of the US Army School of the Americas? On the lessons taught at the School, Former SOA direction of instruction Maj. Joseph Blair said: The doctrine that was taught was that if you want information you use physical abuse, you use false imprisonment, you use threats to family members, you use virtually any method necessary to get what you want...[including torture] and killing. If theres someone you dont want you kill them. If you cant get the information you want, if you cant get that person to shut up or to stop what theyre doing you simply assassinate them, and you assassinate them with one of your death squads. On September 20, 1996, the Pentagon was forced to release training manuals that were used at the U.S. Army School of the Americas and distributed to thousands of military officers from 11 South and Central American countries, including Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Panama, where the U.S. military was heavily involved in counterinsurgency. These manuals advocated targeting civilians, extrajudicial executions, torture, false imprisonment, and extortion. In School of the Dictators, the editors of The New York Times commented: Americans can now read for themselves some of the noxious lessons the United States Army taught to thousands of Latin American military and police officers at the School of the Americas during the 1980s. A training manual recently released by the Pentagon recommended interrogation techniques like torture, execution, blackmail and arresting the relatives of those being questioned. Such practices, which some of the schools graduates enthusiastically applied once they returned home, violate basic human rights and the Armys own rules of procedure. They also defy the professed goals of American foreign policy and foreign military training programs. WHINSEC has said that no school should be held accountable for the actions of its graduates.
