  Blood on America's hands

  There was a May 11 report on The Bee's inside pages that a jury in Guatemala had found a former president of Guatemala, Efrain Rios Montt, guilty of crimes against humanity. There were many witnesses and a lot of forensic evidence to attribute mass slaughter of his people in 1982 to the man, and I, who was alive reading newspapers at the time, am sure the jury made the just decision.

  For younger readers and those whose memory does not extend beyond Benghazi, I will remind them that the arms the convicted murderer used were supplied duplicitously by Ronald Reagan. To facilitate these murders, minions in his administration gave poison gas to Saddam Hussein in Iraq for use in mass murder in exchange for arms to give to Rios Montt.

  These are easily verifiable facts and even though the traitor Oliver North lied to a gullible Congress and the American people at the time, the guilty of mass murder verdict of our ally in crime deserves a bigger story prominently displayed in the newspaper.

  EDITORIAL: Fresno's compassion shows in the Garden of Innocence

  Five children will receive a proper burial beginning at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at Fresno's Mountain View Cemetery.

  Most of them were stillborn and left behind at hospitals. A few breathed for a few seconds or minutes. All were abandoned by parents or brought to the Fresno County morgue without identification. But they'll receive a loving farewell from a respectful and emotional gathering of people at the Garden of Innocence.

  Attendees will form a circle around the garden and pass around small urns containing each child's remains. Later the urns will be placed in vaults with stuffed animals, blankets and rose petals and then buried.
