bicycling down the road from Knoxville
to Fort Benning.
The group will be presenting a brand new circus, "Thieves of Fire",
in their annual tour to help shut down the U.S. Army School of the Americas.
The show presented Uncle Sams's Little Global Circus with their provocative

a result of several countries decision to stop sending military officers and
police to learn torture and cruelty.
