S. Army’s School of the Americas (recently renamed the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation). The protest calls attention to the school’s role in the training of military personnel from throughout Latin America since the mid-1940s, many of whom have been implicated over the years in crimes of torture and assassination, like the slaying of six Jesuits, their housekeeper, and her daughter, at the Jesuit’s University of Central America in San Salvador in 1989.  On Jesuit campuses across the country this week, faculty and students have marked the fifteenth anniversary of that grim event. Two teachers, Mark Chmiel and Andrew Wimmer, offered these reflections to their students at Saint Louis University.

There aren’t going to be large numbers of civilians killed and certainly not by US forces,” he said.  Donald Rumsfeld War and Peace, Iraq Andrew Wimmer 2004-11-15T19:25:21-06:00 Falluja Liberated http://www.newcommunities.net/ee/index.php/weblog/falluja_liberated/ War and Peace, Iraq Andrew Wimmer 2004-11-15T04:53:47-06:00
