Hostile Acts

In January 1989, Costa Rica charged CIA operative John Hull with the crime of `hostile acts.` Hull was accused of contravening the country`s policy of unarmed neutrality by using Costa Rican territory to run the contra war against neighboring Nicaragua. Sadly, the term `hostile acts` seems appropriate to describe the overall impact of U.S. policies on Costa Rica during the 1980`s. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
