When Reaganites Backed D’Aubuisson, They Unleashed a Political Assassin : El Salvador: Washington’s right was so pleased with the politician’s anti-communism it was willing to overlook his abuse of human rights.
WASHINGTON — “Political pilgrims” is a term coined to describe leftist intellectuals who credulously praised various Marxist dictators, while ignoring their abuses of power. But in the 1980s, it was an ultra-right-wing strongman, Roberto D’Aubuisson of El Salvador, who benefited most from idealistic American apologists blind to grotesque abuses of human rights. D’Aubuisson’s political pilgrims contributed to a reign of terror that claimed the lives of thousands of people.
D’Aubuisson died in San Salvador on Feb. 20, a victim of cancer at age 48. The story of the military death squads he commanded while the Reagan Administration stood silent is already a blank page in the history of U.S. national-security policy, shrouded by evasion and classification of government documents.

Roberto D’Aubuisson, 48; Reputed Head of Salvadoran Death Squads
SAN SALVADOR — Roberto D’Aubuisson, the reputed godfather of El Salvador’s right-wing death squads and founder of the ruling Nationalist Republican Alliance party, died Thursday after a prolonged battle with throat cancer and bleeding ulcers. He was 48.
D’Aubuisson’s death was reported by Dr. Jose Luis Saca, one of the physicians who had been attending him here.
In the course of his political career, the former army intelligence major was accused of fomenting a coup, plotting the assassination of a U.S ambassador and masterminding the murder of thousands of his countrymen, including the archbishop of San Salvador.
