I removed this piece <<<General Kjell Laugerud was President during a time of extreme right wing "death squad" violence and repression in Guatemala>>>, beacuse I don't think it describes well the real political climate existing in his years of term that was instead improving in confront with the past.

I removed it again. Laugerud was actually more moderate than the generals before and after him, maybe he could have done more to stop the violence, but he probably feared a bullet himself. Intangible2.0 00:42, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree that the edit you removed was written in a POV style. I added some more information based on more reliable sources. Notmyrealname 05:24, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
