The U.S. is continuing to blow up boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific despite growing international condemnation, while the Trump administration reportedly considers launching airstrikes on Venezuela or even assassinating President Nicolás Maduro.
"We are committing wanton criminal acts of assassination in the Caribbean [against] innocent people who haven't been found guilty of anything, and kind of setting the stage for an attack on Caracas itself in an attempt to take out its leader," says Peter Kornbluh, a senior analyst at the National Security Archive.
Kornbluh also discusses the legacy of the Church Committee 50 years ago, which investigated abuses by U.S. intelligence agencies, including coups and assassinations abroad.
