Scott,

I highly recommend this fine piece of strategic exposition from someone who is intimately familiar with the portions of Team Bush who helped to coordinate the death squads in Latin America throughout the Reagan-Bush 41 era. Highly informed, and predictive, IMHO:

Typical insight:

The body dumps that have been unearthed across Central America are thus little different from the mass graves blamed on Saddam Hussein in Iraq, except in Central America they represented the dark side of U.S. foreign policy and received far less U.S. press scrutiny. Another lesson learned from the 1980s was the importance of shielding the American people from the ugly realities of a U.S.-backed "dirty war" by using P.R. techniques, which became known inside the Reagan administration as "perception management."
