1989 Nov 16
In El Salvador 6 Jesuit priests and two other people were slain by uniformed gunmen at the Jose Simeon Canas University in an attack later blamed on army troops. Later 19 Salvadoran soldiers, trained at the US Army School of the Americas, were linked to the killing. In 2006 US police in Los Angeles arrested a Salvadoran ex-lieutenant convicted of killing the 6 Jesuits. In 2009 a Spanish judge opened an investigation into 14 ex-Salvadoran military officials and considered indicting them over the killings. In 2009 the 6 Jesuits were decorated with the country's highest honor.

1. And we know which side this country supported, sadly. We were on the wrong side, of course.

The link isn't working momentarily but I found a similar one, I believe, which is very useful:

Roses planted where the six priests, housekeeper and her daughter fell.

2. The Cubana flight was shot down that one year Poppy headed CIA

under Ford, too.

I feel sick right now.

How would Americans feel if the Saudis honored bin Laden on September 13?

It's not exactly the same because the Saudis had the decency to expel bin Laden rather than incorporate him into their political elite.

Maybe someone forgot to tell the President that Latino voters decided a number of midterm races. On the other hand, at no point has he seemed very concerned that his Latin America policy might impact the Democratic turn out at home. And that is astonishing.

3. His Latin America policy is one of the biggest surprises of all. We were so unprepared for no change

at all from the previous 8 years.

The only thing I can see he's done is that he made it easier for only Cuban-Americans to come and go from Cuba, and to send their relatives far more money.

Everything else looks just the same, and nothing has changed for anyone else.

George W. Bush would NEVER turn his back on his base. Not in a million years. He realized he wouldn't have been there without them, even as he screwed everyone else.
