Funding Violence and the Destruction of Lives

According to the SOA "In Colombia and the Andean Region, our taxpayer money is paying to escalate a civil war, displace hundreds of thousands of civilians, strengthen a military with a horrible human rights record, damage critical bio-diversity in the Amazon basin, and more." That fact alone should be enough for the American people to up rise against the government running a terrorist group like the WHINSEC. Joseph Kennedy is mentioned as being a critic among others, but what has really been done about this group in last 59 years of its existence? After multiple investigations and public scandals (1984: CIA manual for training the Nicaraguan Contras in psychological operations was discovered; It's a big public scandal, 1988: As a result of a June Congressional hearing, prompted by allegations in the New York Times that the US had taught Honduran military officers who used torture, the HRE manual surfaces for the first time., 1991: An investigation by the DOD, and the list goes on) how is it that they still exist, or at the least have not been revamped completely? Everything the government and military does that is unethical is considered as classified for our security. The real reason for all the cover up is because they need to maintain a false trust with the American people, so they won't question what they are doing, such as killing church officials, peace group workers and civil rights members. This is easily done by the government because America is one of the most overworked countries in the world. No one has time to demand that the government make wise ethical choices, because they are too busy working (both parents mind you), raising kids, and being super consumers because that is what we are best at. There is hope with SOA out there and political opponents to WHINSEC but it will take the American people to really put this group to rest.
