...murder of some 30,000 Salvadoran civilians and at least six Americans at the hands of paramilitary death squads widely believed in most cases to have connections with the local security forces. It was a subject, Hinton told his audience, that "so many of you, because of indifference or shame or fear, leave in eloquent silence." The killings, Hinton noted, were the work of a Mafia and must be stopped.

...Garlands' long struggle with the courts to put Herrin in jail may explain and even excuse their desire to hit him as hard as they can. But it would be a shame if the sympathy they deserve obscured the perception that lies behind their suit, that a criminal penalty somehow cannot punish "enough." It's all very well for murderers to have to foot the bill for funerals they caused, but that's not one of the hardier deterrents to a crime of passion...
