Each day, the headlines expose yet another shocking case
in which the United States, sailing under the banner of
freedom and democracy for all, has actually thwarted
progress toward the securing of human rights for the people of
Latin America. The evidence collected in this volume not only
documents in unmistakable detail the facts of life in that re-
gion s nine most tumultuous countries, but more important,
demonstrates how the Reagan administration has blatantly
abused, ignored, or misrepresented concern for human rights
in pursuing its military and political goals there.
Drawing heavily on Americas Watch s on-site investiga-
tions, With Friends Like These reports the up-to-the-minute
status of human rights in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, El Salva-
dor, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Colombia, and
Peru. How valid are the new guarantees (ours and theirs) of
free expression, personal security, and due process? What
are the real connections between the military and death-
squad activity? Where do "free elections" fit in on the political
and economic trajectories of each country? To which Sides,
and to what ends, is the United States offering funds, arms,
and sympathy--and why do our government s "facts" often
vary so widely from independently reported accounts?
This is a powerful, persuasive rebuttal to the rhetoric of
convenience by which the American government justifies poli-
cies that support torture, repression, and fundamental abuses
of human life abroad.
