=== Philippines Revisited === 

 Hello Stone Put to the Sky! I went searching further back into the history and substitued an older version of the Philippines section into the sandbox. [] Is that what you had in mind? Just an observation that the article solely concerns the recent administration, thus it is a particularly pressing case to discuss. But at the same time I am aware of allegations by scholars and groups like Bayan of significant U.S. complicity in state terrorism by the Marcos and Aquino regimes, and with Michael McClintock tracing elements in C.I.A. psywar manuals back to the era of the Huk rebellion. Do you (and other folks out there) deem these earlier claims worthy of conclusion and if so how should we go about meshing it into the existing Philippines section, and would considerations of length become pertinent at that point? Any to the sandbox I will add a section at the bottom for additional information where anyone can submit potential material or comments (including me).
