CIA's Secret Death Squads Killed 40,000 Vietnamese CiviliansAdded:
Did you know the CIA ran death squads in Vietnam that murdered over 40,000 civilians? Between 1967 and '71, they called it the Phoenix Program. CIA operatives created teams that hunted suspected Viet Cong sympathizers. No trials, no evidence required. They had body count quotas to fill. Families were dragged from their homes in the night, tortured for information they didn't have, then executed. When whistleblowers finally exposed the program, America discovered it was running the same death squads used by the world's worst dictatorships. The Phoenix Program remains one of the CIA's darkest chapters.
