* Training files of the CIA's covert "[[Operation PBSuccess]]" for the 1954 coup in Guatemala describe plausible deniability. According to the [[National Security Archive]]: "Among the documents found in the training files of Operation PBSuccess and declassified by the Agency is a CIA document titled 'A Study of Assassination.' A how-to guide book in the art of political killing, the 19-page manual offers detailed descriptions of the procedures, instruments, and implementation of assassination." The manual states that to provide plausible denial, "no assassination instructions should ever be written or recorded."<ref name = "national">{{cite web
