Re: [Marxism] AlterNet: Is George Bush Restarting Latin America's 'Dirty Wars'?

>From the article:

"Castillo, in his cool Asunción office, with the
standard Paraguayan herbal tea, tereré in his hand,
said these operations marked a shift in U.S. military
strategy. "The kind of training that used to just
happen at the School of the Americas at Fort Benning,
Georgia, is now decentralized," he explained. "The
U.S. military is now establishing new mechanisms of
cooperation and training with armed forces." Combined
efforts, such as MEDRETEs, are part of this agenda.
"It is a way to remain present, while maintaining a
broad reach throughout the Americas." Castillo said
this new wave of militarism is aimed at considering
internal populations as potential enemies and
preventing insurgent leftists from coming to power."

So we see now the formal response of the U.S. to the
threat of Morales-style left populism in Latin
America. The Empire Strikes Back.
