Reports from El Salvador, however, soon cast doubt on whether the retaliation hit those directly responsible for the June attack. Said one U.S. military observer: "As far as saying 'This guy was at the Zona Rosa,' if that is the case I don't know it." A Salvadoran military spokesman said, more conclusively, that the rebels captured and killed "were not specifically the ones responsible." With that, Weinberger's office backpedaled a bit. "He was not intending to say that we had identified the actual triggermen," a spokesman explained. At week's end the State Department said the reward offer...

...obey the law of God. I will continue to preach as instructed. Our God is not blind. He is not deaf. He is not sleeping. He sees what is happening, and when he sees, he acts. God came down to deliver his people out of bondage. I have no doubt that the God we worship sees what is happening in our land. For goodness' sake, we are human beings, not animals. Recognize us for what we are: those whom God made in his image. I believe that what you get through the barrel of a gun you must keep with...
