CIA Time Line Of Atrocities

Check out the 3 pages. I know this topic has been talked about, but really makes me wonder, who is the "real" Terrorist in this World?

No wonder this world is "Fucked up" with US Puppet governments put in place.

*Key word in all these democratically elected
eg:

quote:
1963: Dominican Republic - The CIA overthrows the democratically elected Juan Bosch in a military coup. The CIA installs a repressive, right wing junta

quote:
1967: Greece - A CIA-backed military coup overthrows the government two days before the elections. The favorite to win was George Papandreous, the liberal candidate. During the next six years, the "reign of the colonels" - backed by the CIA - will usher in the widespread use of torture and murder against political opponents. When a Greek ambassador objects to President Johnson about U.S. plans for Cypress, Johnson tells him: "Fuck your parliament and your constitution."

Heh. And then on top of THAT, Henry Kissinger got his oar in by trying to have a prominent critic of the Greek dictatorship bumped off.

Reading through this list gave me that old feeling ... Despair, I guess you'd call it. The CIA seems unstoppable. No matter how anti-democratic, no matter how incompetent its operations often are, the CIA just steams on, ever up to its old tricks, and successive U.S. administrations rationalize or just plain lie about what the agency does.

Is there any evidence that any administrations have been notably more or less critical of these operations?

The CIA looks unstoppable, but that's part of the image it builds up for itself. Just as often, it has failed spectacularly. For every Iran in 1954, there is one Indonesia in 1958, where the CIA tried to overthrow Sukarno and instead opened the door for him to become more powerful than ever before. For every Chile, one Bay of Pigs fiasco. Most of the failures of course are unreported.
