November 23, 2004: National Security Archive Obtains Documents Indicating CIA Knew in Advance about Venezuelan Coup

Peter Kornbluh, a senior analyst at the private non-profit National Security Archive in Washington, tells Newsday that documents recently acquired by the National Security Archive provide “substantive evidence that the CIA knew in advance about the coup, and it is clear that this intelligence was distributed to dozens of members of the Bush administration, giving them knowledge of coup plotting.” [Newsday, 11/24/2004]
