	U.S. Military Presence in Paraguay Stirs Suspicions
		Asuncion, August 6 (RHC)-- Despite Washington's continued denials, analysts and activists have raised the alarm over the possible installation of a U.S. military base in Paraguay, especially after the Paraguayan Congress granted permission for U.S. armed forces contingents to remain in the country for 18 months at a time.
		But as far as Paraguayan political analyst and historian Milda Rivarola is concerned, "in practice, there has already been a (U.S.) base operating in Paraguay for over 50 years." While the actual physical infrastructure of a military base does not exist, the U.S. armed forces have had a continued, ongoing presence in the country.
		Through an agreement reached between the governments of Paraguay and the United States on joint military exercises and bilateral exchanges, Asuncion relinquished the right to subject the visiting troops to the jurisdiction of the local judicial system, international courts, or any other court outside the United States.
