...past few years knows that the appropriate term is terrorist or narcoterrorist. As opposed to other revolutionary movements in Latin America, the Tupac Amaru has no popular support whatsoever, and has never controlled any territories in Peru. It is sad to realize how in Latin America, chanting Marxist nonsense seems to justify planting bombs, kidnapping, selective assassination and extortion. People who in the U.S. would be considered criminals and terrorists in Latin America become "guerrilla fighters," "rebels" or even "freedom fighters." What is Peru to do to solve the hostage crisis?

...into the dank cellblock of the Castro Castro Prison, a squalid penitentiary on Lima's outskirts that houses scores of captured rebels from the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA).

The semi-conciliatory announcement follows on the heels of a brisk government rejection Thursday of Guatemala as a negotiator for the rebels at the talks, tentatively scheduled to begin early next week in a Lima church. Already, though, Fujimori's overture...
...Indonesia had been a Marxist state, America undoubtedly would have opposed the invasion and transformed it into a pressing global issue. But true to the Cold War pattern, the atrocities committed by America's right-wing and reactionary allies were ignored or even encouraged and praised using twisted anti-communist logic. For example, the Reagan administration pretended that the rape, torture and murder of civilians ranging from students to nuns in El Salvador was merely a legitimate attempt to resist Soviet encroachment in the Western hemisphere.
