The military coup in Honduras, the continued training of soldiers at the School of the Americas and the ongoing militarization of Latin America leads SOA Watch activists to question where the change is that Barack Obama had promised. The Spring 2010 issue includes two commentaries that offer views on the subject.

The Spring 2010 issue also includes a two page, full-color comic depicting the history of the SOA created by artists Dan Archer and Nikil Saval , as well as a report from the January 25, 2010 trial of the SOA 4.

The SOA 4, Nancy Gwin, Michael Walli, Ken Hayes, and Fr. Louie Vitale, were arrested for nonviolently taking our call to end U.S. backed repression in Latin America onto Fort Benning. Nancy, Ken and Louie were sentenced to six months in federal prison. They used the January 25 trial as an opportunity to speak truth to power in the courtroom. Michael refused to return to Columbus for the trial and the judge issued an arrest warrant againt him. There will be no better place to read all about it then in the Spring issue of Presente!
