Óscar Arnulfo Romero spoke out against poverty, social injustice, assassinations and torture. He was assassinated.
Operation Watch Tower
According to the Col. Edward Cutolo affidavit, Romero knew about and was about to expose the CIA drug trafficking in the region. "The current intelligence on Archbishop Romero (El Salvador) indicates he is in receipt of physical evidence supporting several allegations that the U.S. is currently with Honduras, Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Panama covertly training and sponsoring freedom fighters attempting to overthrow the current regime in Nicaragua; that these freedom fighters are also being supported from funds arising from Operation Watch Tower in part; that Mr. Robert D'Aubuisson (El Salvador) secretly aided the freedom fighters by allowing U.S. Advisors to train the freedom fighters inside El Salvador, that D`Aubuisson was contacted by Edwin Wilson and Frank Terpil prior to the freedom fighters being trained inside El Salvador. This information made it necessary to protect Operation Watch Tower and Orwell regardless of the costs."[2]
Assassination
Oscar Romero was assassinated while giving mass. It is rumoured that Robert Emmett Johnson was involved.[3]
Legacy
