	Operation Condor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Operation Condor (Spanish: Operación Cóndor, Portuguese: Operação Condor) was a campaign of assassination, counter-terrorism, and intelligence operations implemented by right-wing military dictatorships that -from circa 1950 to 1980s- dominated the Southern Cone in Latin America.
		In light of the Cold War, Operation Condor was given at least tacit approval by the United States, due to fear of Marxist revolution in the region.
		This is known as operation Silencio, that started in April 1991 in order to impede investigations by chilean judges, with the spiriting away of Arturo Sanhueza Ross, linked to the murder of MIR leader Jecar Neghme.

	Operation Colombo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Operation Colombo was an operation undertaken by the DINA (the Chilean secret police) in 1975 that involved the disappearance of political dissidents.
		In November 2005, prosecutors said that specialists appointed by the court in the Operation Colombo case had concluded that while he suffered from mild dementia, he was fit enough to stand trial.
		On this occasion, Pinochet met DINA head Manuel Contreras, who held him as responsible of the DINA and, therefore, of operation Colombo, for which both men may be jailed.

	The Condor Case [Operation Condor] The human costs of militarization in Latin America by Arturo Jimenez
		Operation Condor was a transnational and clandestine, state-sponsored terrorist coalition among the militaries of the Southern Cone of Latin America (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay).
		Operation Condor was to have three phases: the first involved further cooperation among the militaries and intelligence agencies through the sharing of intelligence and the surveillance of specific targeted persons.

	Operation Condor: Deciphering the U.S. Role
		Condor was a covert intelligence and operations system that enabled the Latin American military states to hunt down, seize, and execute political opponents across borders.
		Condor assassinations in Buenos Aires were carried out against General Carlos Prats, former Commander-in-Chief of the Chilean army; nationalist ex-president of Bolivia Juan Jose Torres; two Uruguayan legislators known for their opposition to the Uruguayan military regime, Zelmar Michelini and Hector Gutierrez Ruiz.
		In 1978, for example, the CIA wrote that by July 1976 "the Agency was receiving reports that Condor planned to engage in `executive action' outside the territory of member countries." In fact, the documentary evidence shows that the CIA was fully aware of such capabilities and operations years earlier.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Operation Condor" review
		Not "Operation Condor." While it certainly grades high in Chan's campy approach to martial arts, the plot -- about secret agent Jackie searching the Sahara for missing Nazi gold -- gets in the way of everything else that makes his movies appealing.
		"Condor" is still a considerably better picture than much of this summer's other action fare ("Batman and Robin" and "Speed 2" come immediately to mind), but on the Jackie Chan scale it's about a four.
		Resplendent with stereotypes -- the helpless, screaming females, the trigger-happy Arabs with Italian restaurant tablecloths on their heads -- the release of "Operation Condor" is a transparent attempt by Dimension Films (part of Miramax) to cash in on the Jackie Chan craze while his next picture is in production.

	OPERATION CONDOR
		Known as Operation Condor, "foreign armies and security services cooperated in dealing with political opponents from one country who crossed into another, and assigned their own men to out-of-country operations to avoid the identification of local agents." Lucy Komisar, "Operation Condor and Pinochet", Los Angeles Times, Commentary, November 1, 1998.

	The Case Against Pinochet
		Operation Condor is the subject of a book by Archive Advisory board member John Dinges, The Condor Years.
		CIA officials meet with their counterparts at the State Department and inform them for what is believed to be the first time that Operation Condor is more than a mere exchange of intelligence: It is now involved in "locating and 'hitting' guerrilla leaders." Other documents specify that "hits" are being planned in Paris and London.
		Around the time the CIA was detecting the assassination plans of Operation Condor, Chile's chief of intelligence, Col. Manuel Contreras, made use of the new Condor system to prepare for the planned assassination of Orlando Letelier in Washington, DC.

		"Operation Condor" is the code name for the collection, exchange and storage of intelligence concerning so-called "leftists," communists, and Marxists, which was recently established between cooperating intelligence services in South America in order to eliminate Marxist terrorist activities in the area.

		Condor units kidnapped and assassinated exiled Uruguayan legislators Zelmar Michelini and Héctor Gutiérrez Ruiz in Buenos Aires in May 1976, Bolivian ex-president Torres in Buenos Aires in June, and Letelier and Moffitt in September.
		Operation Condor was a top-secret component of a larger inter-American counterinsurgency strategy—led, financed, and overseen by Washington—to prevent and reverse social and political movements in Latin America demanding structural change.
		Operation Condor holds many sobering lessons for the current “war on terror”—which is, again, much more than an antiterrorist project.

	Review: Operation Condor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Operation Condor, originally released in Hong Kong as Armor of God II, is something of an odd choice to release, since all die hard Chan fans are likely already familiar with it (it's available on video).
		Operation Condor is light on spectacular action sequences and heavy on fights and comedy.
		Operation Condor also features a high humor quotient, with loads of quick gags and longer physical comedy setups, that is enhanced by the cheesy dubbing.

	Operation Condor essays
		Operation Condor strengthened the net of torture in South America because it involved a cooperation of all military forces to pursue subversives in all countries.
		Operation Condor justified that these people were involved in terrorism activities against the government, and therefore, disappeared, tortured and killed the opposition as a means to protect the general citizens and to preserve the government of the South American states.
		Although Operation Condor is said to have seven members, the participation of the United States CIA and other intelligence agencies, such as the FBI, makes the United States the important eighth member of the death squad.

		''Operation Condor'' is a 1991 Jackie Chan movie, but if anyone out there thinks that they're being palmed off with a stale Chan feature, think again.
		''Operation Condor'' came at the tail end of Chan's richest, most inventive period and was directed by Chan himself, always the best assessor of his own talent.
		In the movie, Chan plays Agent Condor, a super agent working for the U.N., though as is nearly always the case, everyone just calls him Jackie.

	Operation Condor
		In "Operation Condor," Chan directs himself in the story of a secret agent named Jackie who is sent by the United Nations to find 240 tons of gold left by Nazi soldiers somewhere under the African desert.
		Still, the point of the movie is the fight scenes, and they're impressive, as is the car chase, one of the funniest, most inventive in recent memory.
		"Operation Condor" was filmed in 1991, which only partly explains why two characters refer to the events of World War II as 40 years ago.
