Report on CIA’s Chilean Task Force Activities

In five concisely argued pages (about 1250 words), analyze the “Report of CIA Chilean Task Force Activities,” assigned for class. What was
the CIA task force’s main goal in Chile? This document also reveals a number of the CIA’s operating assumptions and conceptions that
motivated and supported their activities. How would you characterize these conceptions and how do they establish CIA priorities? You may
find it helpful to ask yourself the following questions:
What did the author(s) of this report think of elections?
What did the author(s) think of the press?
How did they define “free press” and what role did the press play in their operations?
What did they think of constitutionality?
What did they think about political violence?
As always, your response should be complete, but succinct, and supported with short quotations and/or citations from the text. Late papers will
not be accepted. Papers shorter than 1200 words and papers longer than about six pages (double spaced, standard 12-point font, 1-inch margins,
minimal headers) will be substantially penalized. Remember, your paper should be structured around an argument based on an analysis of the
assigned reading.
Do not consult any outside sources beyond the assigned or recommended readings while writing this paper.
