Abstract

Shame & Salvador
Gosse, Van | November 29, 1993 issue

add to cart   close window

In one sense at least, the argument about U.S. policy in El Salvador is finally over. The November 5 release of thousands of pages of U.S. intelligence reports on the structure of state terror in that country removes the last fig leaf. Every U.S. diplomat, military officer and intelligence operative who worked with El Salvador's military and political leaders in the 1980s knew that most of those individuals were directly involved in organizing death squads. State Department representatives lied to Congress, but within the bureaucracy they could not lie to one another.
