Our CIA has been stirring the pot all over the world and in fomenting battles (not on our land) on surrogate lands with many, many innocents losing their lives. We did it in Peru, We did it in Indonesia, We did it in the Middle East first supporting the Shah who tortured his citizens, then supporting Saddam as he bombed Iran, then supporting Saudi as we bombed Saddam -- AND STILL BOMB IRAQ.. Gosh that CIA is a wonder.. aren't they? The CIA has been hamstrung since 1976, with the infamous Church Committee castrating its ability to take down people like Hussein.
Yeah. Carter withdrew support for the Shah, and look at the garbage running Iran now. THEY don't torture their citizens?
You've been reading too many Mother Jones articles about the CIA. The CIA is about to become the entity that it was meant to be. And thank God for that.
And the 10s of thousands killed in the riots in Indonesia? Oh, they weren't American? What about Kissinger support for Pinochet? Sending the CIA down there? Come on. The Defense Department has a covert agency, let them handle it. Th CIA and the FBI were playing gotcha and let the 911 terrorists slip into the country in the first place. How can you defend them?
