High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Operation Charly, according to journalist Maria Seoane, was the alleged code-name of a right-wing covert operation to extend the illegal methods of repression used in the so-called Dirty War in Argentina to Central America. The operation was either headed by the Argentine military with the agreement of the Pentagon, or was led by the US administration and used the Argentinians as a proxy. It lasted from 1977 to 1984. According to French journalist Marie-Monique Robin, these methods themselves had been taught to the Argentine military first by the French military, drawing on the experience of the 1957 Battle of Algiers, and then by their US counterparts. Clarin newspaper journalist Maria Seoane states she has read released classified documents of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and interviewed Duane Clarridge, former CIA operative purportedly responsible for those operations. Maria Seoane states that with the election of President Jimmy Carter in 1977, the CIA was blocked from engaging in the special warfare it had previously delivered against opponents.
