 AIM Report - July B 1982
Bonner's failure to report on the radical composition of the human rights groups he was using as a source for data on the number of civilians killed in El Salvador.
It is evident in reading the 51 stories by Raymond Bonner that were published in The New York Times during the first half of 1982 that one of his main objectives was to discredit the government and the military forces that were standing in the way of a communist takeover of El Salvador.
Bonner's latest service to the cause of the guerrillas has been to portray the new conservative government in El Salvador as moving full steam ahead to undo the land reform that was adopted by the previous government under American guidance.

 CJR - The Mozote Massacre, by Mike Hoyt
Bonner says he was with the rebels for nearly two weeks, after which he went to Mexico and wrote five stories about them.
Bonner says he is grateful that the Times chose to mention him and Guillermoprieto, both in Golden's October 22 piece and in the editorial, titled "The Mozote Horror, Confirmed." Guillermoprieto finds less comfort in the belated vindication.

 Washington Monthly: Waltzing with a dictator: the Marcoses and the making the foreign policy. - book reviews
Bonner has a case to make--that Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos were corrupt and wicked, and that until nearly the last minute the U.S. tolerated and even encouraged them, thereby putting ourselves on the wrong side of history and making Filipinos who hated Marcos hate us.
Bonner obviously sides with Derian, and his picture of Holbrooke is ugly enough that Holbrooke will have to deal with it somehow if he is looking for a bigger foreign-policy job in the next Democratic administration.
Bonner, who in his pre-journalistic life had been a marine officer in Vietnam, a Nader's Raider, and a public interest lawyer, is an idealist.

 The Consortium
Raymond, a 30-year veteran of CIA clandestine services, was a slight, soft-spoken New Yorker who reminded some of a character from a John le Carre spy novel, an intelligence officer who "easily fades into the woodwork," according to one acquaintance.
Raymond confided in one memo that it was important "to get [Casey] out of the loop," but Casey never backed off and Raymond continued to send progress reports to his old boss well into 1986.
Repeatedly, Raymond lectured his subordinates on the chief goal of the operation: "in the specific case of Nica[ragua], concentrate on gluing fl hats on the Sandinistas and white hats on UNO [the contras' United Nicaraguan Opposition]." There was no space for the fact that both sides wore gray hats.

Bonner's book intertwines two themes: protecting Africa's people and their culture is the way to protect Africa's animals, and foreign environmentalists pander to radical elements and impose an ecological colonialism on the African people much like the military colonialism of the past.
Bonner's description of WWF is unflattering to say the least, and he has much evidence, including internal WWF memos and reports, to support his perspective.
He called Bonner racist for a bias against white control of African conservation efforts and in a unique twist of logic, even claimed that Bonner is actually anti-fl because he resents whites helping fls save their wildlife.

Since the El Mozote story and the controversy surrounding it, Bonner had been under great pressure, enduring a steady fusillade of criticism from the Embassy and the State Department, as well as from various right-wing American publications for whom Bonner had come to symbolize the supposed "leftward tilt" of reporting in Central America.

He was very vocal that Bonner was sympathetic to the Communist side in Central America." The criticism from the right -- led by the Wall Street Journal editorial on El Mozote -- "resonated with Abe, because it reinforced his own suspicions about Bonner.

Although Bonner was too inexperienced to realize the impact that his story would have in Washington, he now feels that his inexperience was probably an advantage.
Bonner says that Rosenthal believed that communism in Central America was a significant threat to the United States and felt that Bonner devoted a disproportionate part of the coverage to abuses by the anti-communist Salvadoran Army.
An analysis of Bonner's published stories during this period might be undertaken by some students as an intensive research project.

 AIM Report - March B, 1993
Time also reported that some of Bonner's peers said that he was "readier to believe guerrillas than the government." It noted that women and children can be active participants in guerrilla warfare and charged that Bonner had underplayed that possibility in his report on the Mozote massacre.
Bonner added that "the peasants" had compiled the names of 733 persons murdered by the soldiers in El Mozote and the surrounding area.
Bonner did just that in the series of three articles in the Times reporting on his expedition to Morazon province, guerrilla territory, The El Mozote massacre was one of these stories.

Bonner states at the end of his dispatch: “Indonesia is the world's largest Islamic country.
Considering the Indonesian government’s reluctance to even acknowledge terrorists in their midst (and her vice president’s claim that the U.S. is “the terrorist king”), a less flattering explanation comes to mind: The government is trying to appease a new strain of radical Islam in Indonesia by going easy on the cleric.
Bonner himself says: “Courts here are not known for being independent, and several Indonesians--analysts, and ordinary citizens-- voiced the opinion that the judges had acted in accordance with what the Indonesian government wanted.”

Ironic then, that this book should show the importance of religion, not as a take it or leave it life style choice of the privileged west, but as a vital cohesive force against the forces of Nazi tyranny, which this undoubtably was.
Bonner has identified the major players in US-El Salvador relations in that time period and done an excellent job of contrasting the "party line" (the propoganda from the State Department and much of the press) from what he saw on the "front line" while living in El Salvador as a reporter for the NY Times.
This book is not for the week of stomach, as it very graphically describes the fates of many people who died in the struggle.
