Interview with Duane Clarridge, Former CIA Head in Latin America

John Pilger’s 3-minute clip of a 2015 interview with Duane Clarridge, the former head of the CIA in Latin America, reveals the crude callousness of Washington’s “national security interests” which will ultimately decide whether the U.S. intervenes in other countries’ affairs and overthrows governments. If this doesn’t make clear the CIA/U.S. modus operandi, nothing will. Almost a scene right out of The Godfather.

“What human price? Give me a break,” says Duane Clarridge. “We’ll intervene whenever we decide it’s in our national security interests to intervene. … Get used to it, world.”
