"School of the America's" The Training ground for torture!

[Boxerfan]

Heard a great guest( Ray McGovern-former CIA director) on C-span this morning. He mentioned "The School of America's" as a good "Google" search for documents relating to torture. He points out that the techniques etc... are taught there. Well, I just wanted to share some of the results...

School of the America's watch. They are having a 2-day protest Nov 18-20 at Ft Benning Ga.

5. My Sister in Law will be at the SOA protest again this year.

Buses come from all over the country for this full-day protest, which sounds absolutely amazing. If you're interested in going, but wary, I'd recommend it highly based on her awesome description of the event. (She's 60 and passionately committed but NOT a rabble-rouser type.)
