84. E.g., Mark Zepezauer, The CIA’s Greatest Hits (Monroe, ME: Common Courage Press, 1994), http://www.doublestandards.org/ciahits.html. Asked by an Italian commission whether he was ever a member of WACL, delle Chiaie replied that he was not because he believed that WACL “operated as a CIA front” (hearing of Stefano Delle Chiaie on July 22, 1997, before the Italian Parliamentary Commission on Terrorism headed by Senator Giovanni Pellegrino, http://www.parlamento.it/bicam/terror/stenografici/steno26.htm). I shall try to argue that the truth is more complex.

In addition, the Cuban Nationalist Movement, the CORU component that supplied DINA with Letelier’s assassins, was said to be financing itself through drug smuggling organized by DINA (Peter Dale Scott and Jonathan Marshall, Cocaine Politics: The CIA, Drugs, and Armies in Central America [Berkeley: University of California Press, 1998], 30–31, 33).

The military coup in Argentina in 1976 was welcomed by Kissinger, by then secretary of state under President Ford. Kissinger arranged for the junta’s minister of economy, José Alfredo Martínez de Hoz, to meet with David and Nelson Rockefeller to discuss Argentina’s plans for privatization and foreign investment. Within a year, according to Naomi Klein, “wages lost 40 percent of their value, factories closed, poverty spiraled” (Klein, The Shock Doctrine, 89).
