"Today a letter signed by 69 members of the House of Representatives will be delivered to President Obama calling on the President to shut down the Western Hemispheric Institute for Security Cooperation, formerly the School of Americas, by executive order. Graduates of the school include hundreds of human rights violators guilty of torture, extortion and execution.
