Suggested style guide for this article
[edit]See Talk:Central Intelligence Agency/Country Article Style Rules This article sites the work by the PhD at the University of Miami, his thesis is apparently biased because it does give the number of supposed civilians killed by the government and their agents at 1000, but fails to give the number of civilans, civil servants, military, and police killed by the Marxist groups FARC and ELN...which is in the tens of thousands...it should be noted that both sides should be represented in the article, but are not...I label this as biased towards the Marxist/Socialist side of the argument which is standard for Academia...I am also doing a thesis on this subject and my finding are in direct conflict with the PhDs... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.138.74.36 (talk) 16:39, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Not exactly neutral is it?
[edit]"The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, otherwise known as the FARC, is one of the main extremist groups in Colombia. The FARC has resulted in the killings of innocent civilians making them a top priority for the CIA." Since when did the CIA care about civilians? And in other countries!? Did they care when they supported terrorism against normal people, funding guerrillas to kill on their behalf for the sake of an extremist ideology? No. The reasons where most likely something else beside the Colombian people's suffering. --2001:464D:712E:0:2CC4:B180:868B:5572 (talk) 07:33, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
You are right. Implying a motive other than protecting US national interests is naive at best. It is difficult to assess the exact reasons for involvement from a neutral standpoint, as all communications from intelligence agencies are biased. As an encyclopedia, the stated motives should be quoted along with quoting analyses of interests involved. Pauluzz (talk) 05:07, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
