    This is taken from the footnotes of Understanding Power, 2002 - a series of conversations with Naom Chomsky.

    17. For Newsweek's reference to the disinformation campaign, see "A Plan to Overthrow Kaddafi," Newsweek, August 3, 1981, p. 19. An excerpt:
    The details of the plan were sketchy, but it seemed to be a classic C.I.A. destabilization campaign.

    One element was a "disinformation" program designed to embarrass Kaddafi and his government.

    Another was the creation of a "counter government" to challenge his claim to national leadership.

    A third -- potentially the most risky -- was an escalating paramilitary campaign, probably by disaffected Libyan nationals, to blow up bridges, conduct small-scale guerrilla operations and demonstrate that Kaddafi was opposed by an indigenous political force.

    Sounds rather familiar.
