Editorials & Other Articles

This article looks informative. From a semantics perspective, when foreign leaders are killed, the Western press historically used the term "coup d'etat." For example, President Ngô Đình Diệm of South Vietnam on 2 November 1963 or Patrice Émery Lumumba in 1961. When an American POTUS is killed, the press uses the term "assassination," like JFK twenty days after Diem. But was JFK's killing not a "coup d'etat" which altered US foreign policy and prevented de-fanging CIA as JFK and HST both wanted after the disastrous Bay of Pigs?

Anyways, I shall read the article and learn what I can.
