General Perez Molina is Tito.

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.
