Friday, February 11, 2005 The Guatemalan intervention of 1954 is the most important event in the history of U.S. relations with Latin America…. The C.I.A. intervention began a ghastly cycle of violence, assassination and torture in Guatemala…. It really set the precedent for later interventions in Cuba, British Guiana, Brazil and Chile. The tactics were the same, the mindset was the same, and in many cases the people who directed those covert interventions were the same. — Stephen G. Rabe, quoted in “Revisiting Cold War Coups and Finding Them Costly” from the New York Times [November 30, 2003]
