"One of the bloodiest actors, Efraín Ríos Montt, an army officer trained in the United States who led a military coup in 1982, was hailed by President Ronald Reagan and his administration and by leaders of the religious right in the United States as a great leader and a man of God. Ríos Montt ordered and oversaw unspeakable atrocities in the Guatemalan countryside"

Efraín Ríos Montt, was trained at the School of the Americas with our tax dollars.  He took the training he got there to terrorize and murder his own people.  He was also a fundamentalist.  The national security apparatus of the Reagan era believe fundamentalism was more in tune with Reaganism than Catholicism.
