Philip Agee, CIA agent, 1957-68,
In the CIA, we didn't give a hoot about democracy. I mean it was fine if a government was elected and would cooperate with us, but if it didn't then democracy didn't mean a thing to us. And I don't think it means a thing today. The true goal of the US government is control. And they feel that if the United States did not control the government of Latin America, then somebody else would. And the principle of government by the people, for the people, of the people, that is just . . . that's just silly.
