...have withered. Instead, in defiance of the governments of the U.S. and El Salvador, which denied the atrocity, she supplied graphic details to anyone who would listen.

In the end, the U.S. continued to support its ally, which in the '90s passed a law exempting the army from prosecution.

Bush's budget request for Colombia in 2008, however, still places heavy emphasis on military aid to the country. Says Rieser, "It's virtually a Xerox of the previous year; it has nothing to reflect some of the changes that have occurred there."
