US magazine Newsweek reports, "Then, faced with losing a war against Salvadorean rebels, the US government funded or supported ‘nationalist’ forces... to hunt down and kill rebel leaders and sympathisers... Many US conservatives consider the policy to have been a success—despite the deaths of innocent civilians.”

A senior military officer told the magazine similar calculations are at work in Iraq: “We can’t just go on as we are. We have to find a way of taking the offensive against the insurgents. Right now... we are losing."
