    Terror from Rural Georgia: The Legacy of The School of the Americas

    In the US, terrorism means one thing post-9/11. In Latin America, it has meant something else. In this episode, we explore the US history of exporting terrorism by way of the School of The Americas which has trained right-wing para-militaries in the art of war for over 50 years. We hear from School of the Americas Watch's national organizer Hendrik Voss as well as two women whose lives have been effected by the terrible catch-22 imposed upon Latin American civilians by their neighbor to the North.
