U.S. Army's School of the Americas' Advanced Studies in Torture
"The mission of the School of Americas is to develop and conduct resident training for Latin American military personnel, encourage multinational military relationships and enhance the Latin American armed forces' knowledge of U.S. customs and traditions."
-- From the Web page of the U.S. Army's Fort Benning, site of the School of Americas
"The School of the Americas is where select military personnel from Central and South America receive finishing touches on military training. This training is used to control and exterminate the poor and indigenous people of the trainees' countries. The poor are declared the enemy because they need land, crops, employment, living wages, education, health care, housing and the possibility of a human life. This threatens the leaders of these countries who control the wealth and resources of the land by military force."
-- Bill Bichsel, a Jesuit priest who recently ended a four-month jail term for protesting at the SOA
In 1992, masked troops abducted nine students and a professor from La Cantuta University in Lima, Peru. The Fujimori regime denied that its Armed Forces were involved. But the case broke wide open when a high-ranking Peruvian general revealed that a death squad--operating under direct orders from top government and military leaders--was responsible for the disappearances. Later, the remains of the La Cantuta victims were found in secret graves. The shocking exposure forced the Peruvian rulers to put some military officers on trial, while shielding the top levels of the government and the military.
The U.S. government tried to distance itself from the La Cantuta massacre, criticizing the handling of the case by the Peruvian authorities. But this was shameless hypocrisy on the part of the U.S., the main backer of the repressive Fujimori regime and its vicious counterrevolutionary war against the people's war led by the Communist Party of Peru.
At least six military officers involved in the military death squad that committed the La Cantuta massacre were graduates of the U.S. Army's School of the Americas, based at Fort Benning, Georgia
