...Military chief Gen. Hermogenes Esperon has angrily denied any military involvement in the killings.

Last week it emerged that a suspected member of one hit squad, which killed campaigning Methodist pastor Isaias Santa Rosa in August, carried army identification and orders for a "secret mission" from army intelligence. (The papers were discovered on the hit man after he himself was killed, apparently by friendly fire.) Before his murder by two unidentified...

Just because relatively few Harvard students go on to graduate school and careers in academia does not mean...
...terror. Off-campus groups will also join the protest. The speech comes in the wake of a mid-term election in which voter dissatisfaction with the war in Iraq played a significant role in the Democratic takeover of Congress. Groups that are planning rallies are protesting Gen.
