Readers should note that the basic text of this entry has been lifted from the U.S. State Department's Background notes. See http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/1984.htm A more accurate entry should reflect recebt revelations about the active role of the CIA in the late 1950s and 1960s in preventing Jagan from coming to power.

This is true, as the recently added link demonstrates, and it probably constitutes a violation of Wikipedia plagiarism rules. The article has been subsequently edited by myself and others, and I have attempted to correct what you indicate about the revelations (which are not so recent). --Herschelkrustofsky 14:31, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)
