I found this interesting link, via del.icio.us, to a photoset in Flickr purported to be reproductions of a Central Intelligence Agency booklet distributed as part of a campaign to destabilize the Nicaraguan government and economic system.

I don’t know if the booklet is authentic or one of those hoaxes that get passed around but it makes for an interesting read. Among the items in the booklet, which was said to have been printed in Spanish and English, are: Obstruct roads with trees, rocks or ditches; threaten the boss by phone, phone in false fire alarms and bomb threats; put nails under car tires or on roads, cut the cables of telephones and alarm systems.

Here’s a reproduction of one of the pages:
