A shocking report on the School of the Americas, where the United States Army has trained hundreds of Latin American soldiers - future members of death squads and military dictators. More than 500 Latin American graduates from the School of the Americas are guilty of human rights violations. The officers and enlisted men have a long record of committing massacres, torture, kidnapping and drug trafficking in El Salvador, Columbia, Honduras, Bolivia and other Latin American countries. The School of the Americas was founded in Georgia in 1946 to further American foreign policy interests. Its main purpose is to train Latin American military personnel in the struggle against communism, though the students usually use the skills, taught by the US Army's elite, against their own countrymen.
