This report from Newsweek, courtesy of Daily Kos, sounds incredible. On the other hand, given this admin's track record of adopting failed policies from Christmas past, it sounds a bit too plausible to immediately write off. And a bit too much like Rummy's still calling the shots.

Then, faced with a losing war against Salvadoran rebels, the U.S. government funded or supported "nationalist" forces that allegedly included so-called death squads directed to hunt down and kill rebel leaders and sympathizers."
