Oh, and it's not progressive to topple democratically elected governments and murder activists so our corporations can exploit their natural resources:
"The Clinton-brokered election did indeed install and legitimate a militarized regime based on repression. In the interview, Cáceres says that Clintons coup-government, under pressure from Washington, passed terrorist and intelligence laws that criminalized political protest. Cáceres called it 'counterinsurgency,' carried out on behalf of 'international capital'mostly resource extractorsthat has terrorized the population, murdering political activists by the high hundreds. 'Every day,' Cáceres said elsewhere, 'people are killed.'"
