LA Weekly ; July 23 - 29, 2004 ; by Doug Ireland Remember how congressional 
leaders on both sides of the aisle deplored the torture of prisoners at Abu 
Ghraib as “un-American”? Last Thursday, however, the House quietly passed a 
renewed appropriation that keeps open the U.S.’s most infamous torture-teaching 
institution, known as the School of the Americas (SOA), where the illegal 
physical and psychological abuse of prisoners of the kind the world condemned 
at Abu Ghraib and worse has been routinely taught for years.
