Double standards or business as usual.... if we have the "freedom"
to create graduates that are responsible for this sort of thing... then certainly they should hate us good and proper.

SOA Graduate Commands Brigade Accused of
Massacre of Civilians in Colombia

On February 21-22, 2005, eight members of the San José de Apartadó Peace Community in Urabá, Colombia—including three young children—were brutally massacred. Witnesses identified the killers as members of the Colombian military, and peace community members saw the army’s 17th and 11th Brigades in the area around the time of the murders.

Among those killed was Luis Eduardo Guerra, an internationally recognized peace activist and a co-founder of the Peace Community. In November 2002, Luis travelled from Colombia to Fort Benning, Georgia to speak out against the School of the Americas at the annual Vigil to Close the SOA/ WHINSEC.

General Héctor Jaime Fandiño Rincón is the commander of the 17th Brigade of the Colombian army. Like Luis Eduardo, Fandiño Rincón also travelled to the School of the Americas -— not to speak out for justice and peace like Luis, but as a student. Fandiño Rincón is a graduate of the notorious School of the Americas.
