and you'll see that the attack squad which had "fun" at the
Diaz school was "scrupulously selected" and given four months
training by a couple of Los Angeles "sheriffs" nicknamed
"Crick and Crock" (Laurel and Hardy). Details of how they
were trained have not been reported yet, though details of
a short, one week training course given to *other* police were published by
Liberazione on 7-8 March 2001.

Why get sore with a couple of US cops just having a spot of
fun teaching their methods in Europe? Surely after four
months of very hard study, the students had to be able to test
their newly learnt skills and contribute to economic
productivity.

Any prospective students willing to study hard and
who've got what it takes should also look up

The SOA has an even more impressive academic track record
than the "Los Angeles sheriffs", and even has a brand
new name.
