  1. Well two that are openly acknowledged are Che Guevera and Ngo Dinh Diem . Diem was buried in an unmarked grave in a cemetery next to the house of the US ambassador.

    Technically, the US government only said that they would not interfere with the overthrow of Diem, but it was widely understood that assurances of non-interference would highly increase the chances that he would be murdered.

    --------------

    On orders from U.S. President John F. Kennedy, Henry Cabot Lodge, the American ambassador to South Vietnam, refused to meet with Diem. Upon hearing that a coup d'etat was being designed by ARVN generals led by General Dương Văn Minh, the United States gave secret assurances to the generals that the U.S. would not interfere. Dương Văn Minh and his co-conspirators overthrew the government on November 1, 1963.

    The coup was very swift. On November 1, 1963, with only the palace guard remaining to defend President Diem and his younger brother, Ngô Đình Nhu, the generals called the palace offering Diem safe exile out of the country if he surrendered. However, that evening, Diem and his entourage escaped via an underground passage to Cholon, where they were captured the following morning, November 2. The brothers were executed in the back of an armoured personnel carrier by Captain Nguyen Van Nhung while en route to the Vietnamese Joint General Staff headquarters.

    ===================

    At least one plot to kill Castro was directly approved by C.I.A. Director Allen Dulles. In 1960, Richard Bissell, Director of the C.I.A.’s covert operations branch, began searching for “assets” to assist in a “sensitive mission requiring gangster-type action” against Castro. According to the document, the C.I.A. Director “was briefed and gave his approval.”


  2. As many as we needed to create the world we wanted to live in as Americans.

  3. Allende's killing was the first Sept,11 attack by USA. It happened on the Sept,11 of 1973.

    It was on Sept,11 of 1991 that Senior Bush proposed a New World Order.

    We all know what happened on the Sept,11 of 2001.

    And they blame Arabs and Muslims for the 2001 attacks.

    As for the leaders CIA killed or got killed, you should read 'Rogue State' by William Blum.

    Iran's democracy was shattered by CIA in 1953 and the world is suffering the effects even today.

  4. They tried to assassinate Manuel Noriega, President of Panama, because he had helped Bush Sr. sell drugs to finance the CIA's war in Nicaragua (Iran-Contra Affair).  He was smart enough to seek refuge in a church.  His life was spared but he has been in a Miami jail cell for all these years.  Usually they are successful at their assassinations but we can only guess at the number.  Our government never tells us the truth about it's misdeeds.  Mindpica is correct, JFK's assassination could never have taken place without at the very least, the cooperation of the CIA.

  5. Don't know but thank God they did!  It saved Chile for its future generations.  Don't forget that the election was engineered by the Soviets so Allende was elected with as much legitimacy as the recent Mugabe election in Zimbabwe.

  6. JFK and that is just one of numerous leaders.  Though I will just write that one because I'm sure by writing it will undermine my credibility with a lot of people that they will not even bother reading the other names of the leaders I write.

  7. If they tell you, they would have to kill you.
