http://www.independent.org/news/article.asp?id=1535Javier Arzuaga, the Basque chaplain who gave comfort to those sentenced to die and personally witnessed dozens of executions, spoke to me recently from his home in Puerto Rico. A former Catholic priest, now seventy-five, who describes himself as “closer to Leonardo Boff and Liberation Theology than to the former Cardinal Ratzinger,” he recalls that
there were about eight hundred prisoners in a space fit for no more than three hundred: former Batista military and police personnel, some journalists, a few businessmen and merchants. The revolutionary tribunal was made of militiamen. Che Guevara presided over the appellate court. He never overturned a sentence. I would visit those on death row at the galera de la muerte. A rumor went around that I hypnotized prisoners because many remained calm, so Che ordered that I be present at the executions. After I left in May, they executed many more, but I personally witnessed fifty-five executions. There was an American, Herman Marks, apparently a former convict. We called him “the butcher” because he enjoyed giving the order to shoot. I pleaded many times with Che on behalf of prisoners.
I remember especially the case of Ariel Lima, a young boy. Che did not budge.
This man is no idol and there is no misnomer.
He might look cool on your new tee shirt, but he was a stain on human history. Just another shining example of ideology that doesn't work, but captivates the minds of the weak.
So firstly 'the butcher' here is referring to the American who 'enjoyed giving the order to shoot'. Secondly these men were condemned to die for crimes of torture, murder and rape. Thirdly Che 'never overturning a sentence' doesn't make him a butcher either.
Recommend you watch it so you can learn some shit. Then read the books he references so you can learn some more shit.
