In January 1989, Costa Rica charged CIA operative John Hull with the crime of 'hostile acts.' Hull was accused of contravening the country's policy of unarmed neutrality by using Costa Rican territory to run the contra war against neighboring Nicaragua. Sadly, the term 'hostile acts' seems appropriate to describe the overall impact of U.S. policies on Costa Rica during the 1980's.
