Let me add - once again, for the sake of completeness - that the "Comprehensive U.S. History" DID mention, more or less objectively, some other stuff where the role of the U.S. or of its government was not exactly ideal.
But I do find the omission of the "Operation Condor", or of the "School of the Americas" which wasn't mentioned either, important omissions.

I think you said before that you couldn't figure out on what side I was, or something of the sort. Well, I try not to be on any particular side; human rights violations are horrible, no matter who commits them.
