Talk:Roberto D'Aubuisson

Text and external sites I have followed up suggest that subject is deceased, but give no date or cause. This seems to be an odd omission. Shoka

On February 20, 1992, Roberto D'Aubuisson died. [NYT 2/21/92]

Seems to be reasonable. I'll amend the main page Shoka

http://www.deadoraliveinfo.com/dead.nsf/dnames-nf/D'Aubuisson+Roberto This site gives a different and complete birthdate...

And gives the cause of death as cancer...

Brittania gives his birth year as 43. Any definitave sources?

SOAW mission statement (from website): "SOA Watch is a nonviolent grassroots movement that works to stand in solidarity with the people of Latin America, to close the SOA/WHINSEC and to change oppressive U.S. foreign policy that the SOA represents. We are grateful to our sisters and brothers throughout Latin America for their inspiration and the invitation to join them in their struggle for economic and social justice." Where is the left-wing partisanship you claim? —Seselwa 02:07, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Do you ever hear a conservative (hell, even a moderate) use the terms "economic and social justice"? And good job judging a site's partisanship based on it's fucking MISSION STATEMENT. I'm sure if you went to PNAC, they'd probably say "We're dedicated to expanding democratic influence and peace in the post-Cold War era" but that doesn't alter the fact that they're neoconservative.

SOA Watch is predicated on the assumption that with regards to Latin America, the U.S. was on the wrong side of history in attempting to combat both indigenous and Soviet-inspired Marxist influence. I'll dig up the source if you want, but one of the contributors has stated that he views Castroite Cuba as heaven on earth. And they allege that the U.S. deliberately trained Latin American officers in death squad tactics, which has never been conclusively proven; in fact, most of the dirty counterinsurgency tactics used in the '70s and '80s such as "disappearing" people was pretty endemic to Latin America. A more rational explanation is that the U.S. tried to make the best out of an already chaotic situation (indeed, I've read that the bloodiest year in El Salvador was 1980, BEFORE Reagan authorized military aid or was even President), but of course SOAW can't have that, 'cuz it'd ruin the whole foundation of their site.
