Originally,
blowback was
CIA internal coinage denoting the unintended, harmful consequences—to friendly populations and military forces—when a given weapon is used beyond its purpose as intended by the party supplying it. Examples include anti-Western religious figures (e.g.
Osama bin Laden) who, in due course, attack foe and sponsor; right-wing counter-revolutionaries who sell drugs to their sponsor’s civil populace (see
CIA and Contras cocaine trafficking in the US); and
banana republic juntas (see
Salvadoran Civil War) who kill American
reporters or
nuns (e.g.
Dorothy Kazel).[
