[Mr. Silverback]

Can you imagine how ticked off those peacenik wankers who go after the School of the Americas are about this? Wait until the Honduran and Salvadoran "paid killers" are policing Iraq better than a lot of American big city police departments. Let the frothing at the mouth begin!

I'm glad you mentioned it, the School of Americas was extremely successful in transforming the militaries in Central and South America and bringing stability to many countries. Officially the SOA closed under Col. (ret) Glenn Weidner, who was an exceptional officer - an absolutely amazing intellectual.

Now the Dept. of Defense has a similiar school in the same spot called the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation.
