Friday, May 3rd, the State Department released several thousand pages of documents. Those given to me are disappointing. I have asked repeatedly for information on the American present at my torture, whom my torturers referred to as their boss. I have always believed if I could identify Alejandro, I could also learn who my Guatemalan torturers were. On April 4, First Lady Hillary Clinton told me that any information related to Alejandro, even classified information, would be released to me. She did not rule out the possibility that Alejandro was a present or past employee of a US agency.

The documents I have received, however, do not reveal the identity or Alejandro nor shed any light on the Identities of my Guatemalan torturers. What the documents do reveal is a pronounced bias against me from the very beginning, on the part of the US embassy in Guatemala.
