"What you and the left liked to call a "death squad" was a necessary part of fighting the Soviet terrorists in those Central American countries." Give me a break, in Nicaragua, Somoza was an American backed oppressive ruler, he was overthrown by leftists who created a legitimate democracy and now there is relative peace there. In Panama the U.S. propped up Noriega and his death squads for years, all the while he was exporting cocaine to the U.S. and lining his pocket. That's not a way to fight communism. Allende, democratically elected, was overthrown (with U.S. help)and Pinochet and his death squads ruled with impunity for many years, all with U.S. support. If you knew what CIA trained death squads did in El Salvador to create a climate of terror, oh I forgot, it doesn't bother you what they did because it was for a good cause. That's moral equivocation again, we have a lot of that on this thread.
