Can anyone name some of the CIA lead coup d'eates that have occured since 1950?
I already know quite a few, I am just curious to see if anyone else knows.

Poor "Common Sense", still ignoring history, still ignoring reality...Jacobo Arbenz Guzman was ELECTED in Guatemala's second-ever universal election in March, 1951. He was taken out of power after he motioned to a pass land reform act similar to the Homestead Act passed in the U.S. in 1862. He was removed in a coup d'etat by the military junta led by Colonel Carlos Castillo Armas with the cooperation of the CIA (Operation PBSuccess) in mid-1954.
Maybe "Common Sense" had shares in the United Fruit Co.

There have been no CIA coups in the U.S. But there have been attempts in other countries. Remember the Bay of Pigs invasion?
