Get ready for another boost to John Kerry in the "Veteran v. General" matchup in NH -- apparently Wesley Clark was a big supporter of the infamous School of the Americas, and he'd being birddogged about it on the campaign trail. The article notes that Dennis Kucinich is promising to shut it down immediately if he takes office (we can dream...). The School is a training center for torture, assassination, and military dictatorship techniques, run by the US Army. No, seriously -- your tax dollars are paying for guys like Manuel Noriega and the men who killed Oscar Romero to learn "counter-insurgency methods" in Georgia. In any case, let's see if some hay is made of this in the next six days...
