    As we mark the 50th anniversary of the horrific coup in Chile, we must make clear that we regret our involvement and commit to supporting Chilean democracy

    Apologize for the coup in Pakistan last week or fuck off

      This is really it for me. They trot out their acknowledgements and apologies decades later when it hardly matters anymore, with zero restoration.

        We all acknowledge what the CIA did exactly 25 years ago was bad.

        But thank god the force of freedom and democracy put a stop to that 25 years ago.

        Modern activities are classified for 25 years but you can trust us we stopped doing that stuff 25 years ago.

    lenin-sure : “After their death, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to hallow their names to a certain extent for the “consolation” of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter, while at the same time robbing the revolutionary theory of its substance, blunting its revolutionary edge and vulgarizing it.”
