I was thinking more on terms of aggression toward other states, and even state-sponsored terrorism. For example, sponsoring of contras, political assassinations, sponsoring rightist military coups left and right, or even terrorism carried out directly by the CIA (such as a more well-known case; CIA operative Luis Posada Carriles who was an "anti-Castro" terrorist involved in a number of different operations including the blowing up of a Cuban airlines killing seventy-three innocent people, and who now lives under the protection of the US government in Florida).
