With the latest assassination of Gen. Qassim Suleimani once again the United States is back in the news.
General public has got a very short memory.
They have already forgotten about Abū Bakr al-Baghdadi
I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist because of the irresponsibility of its people. —Secretary of State Henry Kissinger commenting on the election of Salvador Allende as president of Chile in 1970. Chile's coup d'etat was close to perfect. —Lieutenant Colonel Patrick J. Ryan, U.S. Military Group Commander, Santiago, Chile, October 1, 1973 Today our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature I've directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and bring them to justice.

Located at Fort Benning in Columbus, Georgia, the School of the Americas (soa) is a U.S. Army center that has trained more than sixty thousand soldiers and police, mostly from Latin America, in counterinsurgency and combat-related skills since it was founded in 1946. So widely documented is the participation of the School’s graduates in torture, murder, and political repression throughout Latin America that in 2001 the School officially changed its name to the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation. Lesley Gill goes behind the façade and presents a comprehensive portrait of the School of the Americas. Talking to a retired Colombian general accused by international human rights organizations of terrible crimes, sitting in on classes, accompanying soa students and their families to an upscale local mall, listening to coca farmers in Colombia and Bolivia, conversing with anti-soa activists in the cramped office of the School of the Americas Watch—Gill exposes the School’s institutionalization of state-sponsored violence, the havoc it has wrought in Latin America, and the strategies used by activists seeking to curtail it.
Based on her unprecedented level of access to the School of the Americas, Gill describes the School’s mission and training methods and reveals how its students, alumni, and officers perceive themselves in relation to the dirty wars that have raged across Latin America. Assessing the School’s role in U.S. empire-building, she shows how Latin America’s brightest and most ambitious military officers are indoctrinated into a stark good-versus-evil worldview, seduced by consumer society and the “American dream,” and enlisted as proxies in Washington’s war against drugs and “subversion.”

Latin American Training Center-Ground Division[edit]

Mutual defense assistance agreements bound the U.S. Army to the militaries of Latin America by the middle of the 1950s, with only Mexico and Argentina as exceptions
After the 1959 revolution in Cuba, the U.S. Military adopted a national security doctrine under the perceived threat of an "international communist conspiracy."[citation needed] In 1961, President John F. Kennedy ordered the school to focus on teaching "anti-communist" counterinsurgency training to military personnel from Latin America
According to anthropologist Lesley Gill, the label "communist" was a highly elastic category that could accommodate almost any critic of the status quo
In recent years this label of communist has been rewritten as "terrorist" even a Saudi pilot killed two other Navy officers for their comments that he was a pornographic actor was labeled as a terrorist act.
Why this story completely disappeared from the news cycle?

General Pinochet and his compatriots in the Chilean armed forces were also aided and abetted by the United States despite their use ofterror at home and abroad. Almost all of the Chilean officers who overthrew Allende had trained at a U.S. military service school prior to the coup; most had attended the U.S. Army's prestigious School of the Americas, a training institution where Latin American soldiers learn counterinsur- gency warfare. The most notorious acts of international terrorism com- mitted by the Pinochet regime included the 1974 car bomb assassination of General Carlos Pratts and his wife in Buenos Aires; the 1974 attempted murder of Bernardo Leighton, the founder Of the Chilean Christian Dem- ocratic Party, in Rome; and the 1976 car bomb execution of Orlando Letelier, Allende's former ambassador to the United States, and his U.S. aide, Ronnie Moffat, in Washington, D.C. The assassinations were orches- trated by the Chilean secret police and connected to Operation Condor, a network of South American intelligence agencies that collaborated in hunting down and assassinating political dissidents who opposed the dic- tatorships in their respective countries. The fact that the Letelier murder was carried out in the heart Of Washington, D.C., testifies to the confi- dence with which Pinochet's secret police operated in the United States and suggests that the CIA was probably aware of its activities. 1orientation."
