Description: 

Tim McGovern discusses the range of techniques, including torture, used in the Western Hemisphere by counterinsurgency groups such as the Green Berets and Latin American military and police forces.

Features call-in interviews with Michael Klare, member of the North American Congress on Latin America; Latin American History Prof. Timothy Harding, California State University, Los Angeles; Quinn Tamm, head of the International Association of Chiefs of Police; International Relations and Political Science Prof. Michael Fleet, University of Southern California; Senator James Abourezk (D-South Dakota); Rep. Charles Wiggins (R-California); John Marks, co-author of "The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence"; Martin Hall from the Coalition for the Restoration of Democracy in Chile, and others.
