INFORMATION:
Did you know that U.S. taxpayers foot the bill for a military school
on U.S. soil that trains some of the worst human rights violators in
the hemisphere?
"School of Assassins", a twenty-minute video narrated by Susan
Sarandon exposes the U.S. Army School of the Americas (S.O.A.), a
combat school at Fort Benning, Ga. that has trained over 57,000
soldiers from 23 Latin American and Caribbean countries.
The video revels a military school hidden behind a wall of secrecy
for over forty years, while its graduates committed assassinations,
coups, and massacres in nations throughout Latin America, including
El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Argentina, Colombia, and Peru.
The video also features efforts to shut down this "School of
Assassins", providing an excellent educational resource for
universities, high schools, peace and justice organizations, Latin American
solidarity groups, and church groups.
If you would like to order this video or if you want more
information about this "School of Assassins", please e-mail me.
Yours in peace,
