Met families who have been there for generations, and who were kicked out of their homes by Argentina in 1982. Argentina's claims are bullshit. This is not colonialism (unlike Argentina, which was a direct result of colonialism). There was no indigenous population that was displaced, and the current residents have firmly established a lifestyle that they prefer to keep.

There are plenty of other places in the world to get upset about "colonialism", but this ain't it.

And I recall reading after the war that Argentinian soldiers, who'd been assured that Argentinians were being exploited by the Brits on the Falklands, were astonished to learn that all of the residents were English.

which means you need some concrete proposals to get the discussions going.

be doing that????

I'm absolutely flabbergasted, which probably says a lot more about my apparent ignorance of such things than anything else.

but later on in the body of what's in the OP repeats CIA.

Silly me for not understanding that CIA actually stands for National Intelligence Council.

since everywhere in the article it says CIA? Well, not quite everywhere, as in half way through it mentions the NIC, but it still seems to say that the CIA is the one who had the secret plan.

Is this an example of irresponsible journalism? Was the CIA actually involved? If not, why do they get the lead mention? Very confusing.

He did not work for the CIA

the CIA had a plan?

I'm utterly confused.

At least that war was some 30 years ago, so I don't think I have to worry too much about the plan, no matter whose it was.
