Just today I was thinking to myself...you know maybe a Clark/Dean ticket would be better. That thought has been shattered by this little revelation. Clark is defending an institution that trained Latin American military officers in the art of torture and assasination. In many cases used against their own citizens for excercising democratic freedoms.
Here is what Clark had to say recently in Concord:
"There's been a lot of rotten people who've gone to a lot of rotten schools in the history of the world," Clark said. "And a lot of them went to this school. But a lot of them have gone to Harvard Business School and a lot of other places."

Yeah...but Harvard Business school doesn't exactly offer classes in accounting fraud. In the 1980s however the SOA manuals did recommended blackmail, torture and execution of political dissidents. Kucinich, Gephardt, and Kerry have all called for it to be shut down. Howard Dean has offered to review its case, and shut it down if necessary. (http://www.birddogger.org/news.php?id=67) Sorry Clark ole boy, but you've crossed the line with me. I figured your slip up with the flag burning amendment to the Constitution was just a little pandering. But this time my friend you have gone too far. I hearby promise to do whatever I can to make sure your not the Democratic nominee.
