Because the US is the world's largest sponsor of terrorism as a deliberate tool of foreign policy.
We aren't doing an "Oopsie!" This is an explicit Strategy of Tension.
They've been exposed for centuries. We were arming hostile insurgents straight back to the French and Indian Wars. Operation Cyclone. Operation GLADIO. Iran-Conta. The Phoenix Program. The FBI's COINTELPRO. The Abraham Lincoln Brigade of the Spanish Civil War. Support for anti-Spanish insurgents in Cuba during the 1890s. Emancipation of slaves during the 1860s. Polk's aid to Texas Revolutionaries that included a former US congressperson turned filibusterer.
None of this is a secret. It's in high school history books.
