Read this ; .. an incredibly smug, self-serving article. This is one way of looking at history . Maybe the prevailing view. another view is that the CIA were totally out-of-control in the 50's and 60's and their Cold War exploits caused immense suffering. ie .. from the article ; " However, it is important to note that the CIA's covert action campaign cost tens of thousands of Tibetans their lives, and the supported resistance encouraged violent oppression from the Chinese occupiers.

'they lost' ; and were beaten, tortured, murdered and chased out of their country. another entry for the CIA Cold-War hall of fame ; link |
