"In El Salvador, the fundamental duty of a democratic government
to protect its citizens has been stood on its head. People are
tortured, disappear and are killed at the whim of security forces
that enjoy absolute immunity from legal action..."

"President Bush described the Salvadoran revolutionaries as
`terrorists' and the Salvadoran Government as `a democracy'.
Wrong on both counts."
In sum,
"The failure of US policy makers to press for a negotiated end to
the war in El Salvador has placed our country in league with a
clique of assassins masquerading as an army..."
