 PREDATORY STATES: OPERATION CONDOR AND COVERT WAR IN LATIN AMERICA Operation Condor was a secret Latin American military network created in the 1970s that used the methods of terror to eliminate political opponents outside their own countries. Its key members were the anticommunist dictatorships of Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Brazil, later joined by Peru and Ecuador, with secret sustenance and collaboration by the U.S. government. Operation Condor was a top-secret component of the hemispheric strategy to prevent and reverse emerging movements in Latin America demanding political and structural change. The military states hunted down, seized, and executed political opponents across borders within the framework of Condor, using extralegal and aberrant methods. Condor functioned within, or parallel to, the structures of the larger inter-American military system led by the United States, and declassified U.S. documents make clear that U.S. security officers saw Condor as a legitimate and useful "counterterror" organization.
