On the contrary, the liberal human-rights group Americas Watch issued a report last week citing myriad abuses committed by the rebels. Although the 170-page document takes the Sandinistas to task for their harsh treatment of prisoners, it is most critical of the contras for waging "indiscriminate attacks" against civilians, including children...
