The School of the Americas

“Babylon system is the vampire
Suckin' the children day by day
Me say de, Babylon system is the vampire, falling empire
Suckin' the blood of the sufferers
Building church and university
Deceiving the people continually
Me say them graduatin' thieves and murderers”

- Babylon System (1979), Bob Marley

Never has a song lyric been so fitting. To all those unfamiliar with the work of the School of the Americas, now renamed the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Co-operation, I suggest you visit this School of Assassins by Jack Nelson Pallmeyer.
