Romero's murder

Sir: Richard West has never heard it suggested that murders by 'death squads' in El Salvador were carried out by judges of the El Salvador court (3 December). But by now he will have heard it suggested that Archbishop Romero was murdered at the instigation of the present President (i.e. Speaker) of the Salvadorean Constituent Assembly.
