William Blum serves up a forensic overview of U.S. foreign policy spanning sixty years.

"If you flip over the rock of American foreign policy of the past century, this is what crawls out
invasions
bombings
overthrowing governments
occupations
suppressing movements for social change
assassinating political leaders
perverting elections
manipulating labor unions
manufacturing news
death squads
torture
biological warfare
