Both times it was ochestrated to appear to foreigners and natives that his was untrue. What garuante do we have that this isn't the case currently? I understand conditions for upheaval have been prevelent since atleast 1993 in Libya. It is just, this covert operation tha alarms me. The C.I.A has never been a humanitarian weapon. It has always been an extension of multi-national corporations.
