Over the weekend of November 21-23, thousands gathered outside Fort Benning, Georgia, to participate in an annual vigil to protest the School of the Americas (SOA).

Most Americans have probably never heard of the SOA, which was cleverly renamed a few years ago to "Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC)" to try to dodge the stigma surrounding the institution's reputation.
