Shown here is explosive information about the teaching of torture techniques, which is paid for by U.S. taxpayer dollars. This training is taking place at the United States Army School of the Americas at Fort Benning, Georgia. Soldiers, mostly from Latin America, are taught "counter-insurgency," or how to control "insurgents" in their homeland. Often this amounts to the murdering of targeted persons, such as human rights activists, or health care workers, or labor organizers, or sometimes just hungry protesters seeking change. This military response has even lead to the annihilation of whole villages. Not only is this training promoting a military mentality, instead of improving living conditions in these countries and helping to solve human problems, it is promoting wasteful and expensive military hardware, thereby creating more debt for these countries. Momentum to shut down this hideous affront to democracy and to human decency is growing with ever-wider public awareness.
