JACK SHELTON
The saddest thing about the disappearance and killing of Jack Shelton in Guatemala is that his murderers were likely paid by U.S. largess from a fund that I, as a taxpayer, am required to pay into.
Furthermore, the grim reality of death-squad murder is also repeated ad nauseam in El Salvador and Honduras, with the apparent but tacit blessing of our own State Department.
The entire Central American foreign policy needs to be rethought. This country has no business supporting terrorist military dictatorships anywhere.
