On my return to San Salvador, I make arrangements to interview Defense Minister García. “I hear you want to go on an operation with Atlacatl,” says García. “That has never been done before. How do I know you won’t turn around and write some story attacking the armed forces?”

“You don’t,” I say. “But then you can always have me killed.”– Jeff B. Harmon military ID allowing him to travel with Salvadoran armed forces
