What's your favorite CIA coup?
I personally like the removal of Patrice Lumumba, a potential Communist who ran for election in the Congo. Swift and effective.
>In the election of Patrice Lumumba, and his acceptance of Soviet support, the CIA saw another possible Cuba. This view swayed the White House. Eisenhower ordered that Lumumba be "eliminated". The CIA delivered a quarter of a million dollars to Joseph Mobutu, their favorite horse in the race. Mobutu delivered Lumumba to the Belgians, the former colonial masters of Congo, who executed him in short order.[51]
