From The “Dirty War” to Poisoned Food: The World According to Marie-Monique Robin http://upsidedownworld.org/main/argentina-archives-32/3002-the-dirty-war-of-poisoned-food-the-world-according-to-marie-monique-robin

Marie-Monique Robin's investigation Death Squadrons: The French School helped shed light on the terrorist acts committed by the State during Argentina's Dirty War. Recently she testified in two lawsuits concerning crimes against humanity in Argentina. Her new book, Our Daily Poison, investigates the pollutants that contaminate the production of food, and the corporations that want to cover them up.

The experience served as the foundation of a new military doctrine for the French, which had the virtue of being formed in direct confrontation with its target—as such, it attracted experts from all over the Western Hemisphere. In this sense, the Argentinian military wasn't the only one that valued the French experience highly.

In 1960, the US government called for the incorporation of veterans from the Algerian wars into military schools in the United States. This is how the School of the Americas, subsequently recognized as a hotbed for future dictators, spread the blueprint of the French model across the entire continent. In addition, The Death Squadrons signals a double game on behalf of Valéry Giscard d´Estaing's government, which publicly isolated those fleeing Jorge Videla's and Augusto Pinochet's dictatorships, but in secret consulted closely with them in a system of coordinating intelligence gathering with repression known as “Operation Condor”.
