Allan Nairn: U.S. Backers of Guatemalan Death Squads Should Be Jailed Alongside Ex-President
As former Guatemalan President Otto Pérez Molina is held in jail on
corruption charges, investigative journalist Allan Nairn looks at how
Pérez Molina could also be charged for his role in the mass killings of
indigenous Guatemalans in the 1980s. In 1982, Nairn interviewed a
Guatemalan general named "Tito" on camera during the height of the
indigenous massacres. It turns out the man was actually Pérez Molina.
