Although reports of the massacre--and photographs of its victims--appeared in the United States, the Reagan administration quickly dismissed them as propaganda. In the end, El Mozote was forgotten. The war in El Salvador continued, with American funding. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Mark Danner's reconstruction of these events first appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, it sent shock waves through the news media and the American foreign-policy establishment.
