Unfortunately the US-SOA connection is old news to anyone who's been an active (leftist only!) Catholic or Quaker. People have done time in Federal prison for protests at the SOA encampment. Nuns, priests, laity both secular and part of faith groups. You think the SOA or whatever it's called now is not scared of the exposure? Triple barb wiring to keep out those dangerous protestors does not testify to confidence in what they are about
They taught torture to the Salvadorian death squads who killed Oscar Romero and later (November 1989) shot down the Jesuits of Jose Simeon Canas University. Because the eight priests were shot in the back of the head, the murder was termed a "Sophiacide," the murder of wisdom or knowledge.
At the time we may (MAY) have not dirtied out hands ourselves, just instructed others and directed their efforts. Now it seems we're up to our elbows.
The latest from one of the several anti-SOA groups:

I'm still not sure what this has to do with male hysterics, but it's interesting anyway.
