It pains me to say this, but what the hell did they expect?

109. I assume you're operating with a literal definition?

Blowback is a word that has been used metaphorocally to describe unintended consequences and or responses not predicted (although they may have been reasonably predictable).

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).[citation needed]

In formal print usage, the term blowback first appeared in the Clandestine Service History—Overthrow of Premier Mossadeq of Iran—November 1952–August 1953, the CIA's internal history of the 1953 Iranian coup d'état, sponsored by the US and UK, which was published in March 1954.[2][3] Blowback from this operation would indeed occur with the Iranian Revolution and the Iran hostage crisis. Recent accounts of how blowback functioned in the War on Terror relation to US and UK intelligence and defense propaganda and became an important issue in a 21st Century media environment are discussed by Dr Emma Louise Briant in her book Propaganda and Counter-terrorism which presents first hand accounts and discussions of deliberate and unintended consequences of blowback, oversight and impacts for the public.

Afghanistan and Al Qaeda[edit]
Examples of blowback include the CIA’s financing and support for Afghan insurgents to fight an anti-Communist proxy guerilla war against the USSR in Afghanistan; some of the beneficiaries of this CIA support joined al-Qaeda's terrorist campaign against the United States.[13] In relation to US propaganda, where black propaganda for foreign audiences might enter the domestic media there is little to prevent this occurring and protections and oversight have been criticised by Dr Emma Louise Briant. [14]

Syria and ISIS[edit]
During the Syrian Civil War, United States and Saudi Arabia supported and aided anti-Assad armed groups.[15][16] Some of those groups later shifted loyalty to ISIS.[17]

If you have a problem with the CIAs use of the word, take it up with them.
