    General Perez Molina is Tito.

    Allan Nairn

    Friday, April 26, 2013

    General Otto Perez Molina, the President of Guatemala, surprised many yesterday by

    finally admitting verbally that he is in fact Major Tito, who I met and interviewed on

    film in 1982.

    It was an application of the politician's tactic of getting out in front of a damaging

    story to frame it in their own way, in this case trying to move focus from the fact that

    he was field commander during the Rios Montt massacres to the minor, innocuous

    fact that while doing so he used a pseudonym to, he said, protect his family.

    Protecting one's family is admirable but it was unfortunately not an option for themany thousands of defenseless civilians massacred by Rios Montt's -- and Perez

    Molina's -- army.
