CIA chief Duane Clarridge explains how the crimes of Pinochet were “worth it” and that the US will overthrow democratically elected governments whenever it wants. When told that’s a violation of foreign populations, his reply is clear: “well that’s just tough”

Most libs admit what the CIA and FBI did in the past was crooked and evil. But that was then, sweaty, pretending these orgs are the same as they were 40 years ago is just arguing in bad faith.

We know they did shady shit in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, and 10s, nobody involved was arrested and there was no reform to the CIA, but only conspiracy theorists think they’re still doing that stuff.

It’s conscious denial that their side is not clean.

The CIA last funded death squads… a couple of years ago. I’m sure they’ve changed since!
