The Latin America Working Group, a Washington-based coalition of sixty nongovernmental organizations, has just completed a year-long study of the U.S. government's relationship with Latin America's powerful militaries. "The U.S. - Latin American military relationship is larger than we thought, involves more programs, and receives a lot less oversight than it deserves," said Joy Olson, director of the Latin America Working Group and co-author of Just the Facts: a civilian's guide to defense and security assistance to Latin America and the Caribbean.
Blueprint for a New Colombia Policy, published March 2005 (PDF format). Proposes ten changes to U.S. policy toward Colombia. Written by the Latin America Working Group, the Center for International Policy, the Washington Office on Latin America and the U.S. Office on Colombia.

I can't find any google connections between Bill Goodfellow and Rand Beers, but I'm betting they're there somewhere.
