206. A little more on the links
One story you or someone else linked appears to be from a reputable source, I pulled a relevant section out:

Fort Benning School Braces for Protesters
by Yolanda Rodriguez

The protesters allege that the school teaches Latin American military personnel tactics to use against their own people. It is scheduled to shut down next month and reopen under a new name, the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Protection, in January.

The new school and curriculum will be reviewed regularly by Congress, the State and Defense departments and civilians from academia, clergy, and international nongovernmental organizations.

But even with the changes the protests are likely to continue, said Randy Serragio, one of the organizers for School of Americas Watch, which each year trains thousands of people in nonviolent action.
