.> Father Ignacio Ellacuria, rector of the Jesuit University before he was assassinated along with Father Martin-Baro, described El Salvador as "a lacerated reality, almost mortally wounded." He was a close associate of Archbishop Romero and was with him when the Archbishop wrote to President Carter, pleading in vain for the withdrawal of aid from the junta. The Archbishop informed Father Ellacuria that his letter was prompted "by the new concept of special warfare, which consists in murderously eliminating every endeavor of the popular organizations under the allegation of Communism or terrorism . . ." Special warfare---whether called counterinsurgency, or low-intensity conflict, or some other euphemism----is simply international terrorism-and it has long been official US policy, a weapon in the arsenal used for the larger sociopolitical project. - Excerpt from Deterring Democracy (1992)
