	Mark Danner: The Truth of El Mozote, p. 1 of 12
		In the United States, the free press was not to be denied: El Mozote was reported; Rufina's story was told; the angry debate in Congress intensified.
		But El Mozote was crowded; in the days before Operation Rescue, people from the outlying areas had flooded into the hamlet.
		As in many other communities in northern Morazán, the people of El Mozote were struggling to keep their balance in the middle of the perilously shifting ground of a brutal war -- were working hard to remain on friendly terms with the soldiers while fearing to alienate the guerrillas.

	El Mozote massacre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		On the afternoon of December 10, 1981, units of the Salvadoran army's Atlacal Battalion arrived at the remote village of El Mozote after a clash with guerrillas in the vicinity.
		There is full proof that on 11 December 1981, in the village of El Mozote, units of the Atlacatl Battalion deliberately and systematically killed a group of more than 200 men, women and children, constituting the entire civilian population that they had found there the previous day and had since been holding prisoner.
		Nearly 11 years after American-trained soldiers were said to have torn through El Mozote and surrounding hamlets on a rampage in which at least 794 people were killed, the bones have emerged as stark evidence that the claims of peasant survivors and the reports of a couple of American journalists were true.

		The 1981 massacre of civilians by government soldiers in the village of El Mozote, El Salvador and its impact on the contemporary human rights movement were the topics of a forum at OSI's New York office on September 4, 2003.
		Although the army did not regard El Mozote as a town that harbored or was sympathetic toward the guerillas, the troops rounded up men, women, and children from El Mozote and several nearby villages over the next four days—and then tortured and executed them.
		Despite lack of progress in prosecuting those responsible for the massacre, human rights advocates consider El Mozote a turning point for the human rights movement because it marked the first time that an investigative approach was used to document abuses.

		In addition to his report on the El Mozote massacre, which appears to have exaggerated the number of noncombatants killed, several of Bonner's stories in the Times in January 1982 fit the classic communist disinformation pattern.
		Moreover, he recognized that subjecting El Salvador to communist rule was not appropriate punishment for its shortcomings in the human rights area, nor was it in the best interests of the United States.
		The pitiful pile of bones unearthed at El Mozote and shown on 60 Minutes is a reminder of the brutality that often characterized the struggle to ward off the attempted communist takeover.
