What howler? You quote it ascribing actions to the Guatemalan dictatorship in the 1930s which is accurate. Then you claim the piece says the CIA was active in the 1930s, which it does not say anywhere.

I've posted an excerpt from the start of the article at the start of this thread, you could check it.
As it is written, it clearly seems to give the responsibility of the delay in publication to the CIA.
The most charitable interpretation is "poor editing".
And this produce what is objectively an historical howler right at the start. As the other commenter said, maybe it's just sloppy editing. But seems pretty click baity to me.
