School of the Americas

The Nation

Here's something I haven't heard about in awhile, the School of the Americas, a program in which Latin America countries send troops to the US for training. There have been a lot of human rights abuses connected to it, so up until the Iraqi War, it was a major target of Human Rights Activists. This article continues with my previous mention of the US's waning authority over Latin America as three countries, Argentina, Uruguay, and Venezuela, have decided to no longer send troops there.
