I've often thought the word conspiracy should be substituted by "lunch".

The C word brings to swarthy men in a dark room lit by the light of a solitary bulb, drinking a beverage out of earthen or tin cups, plotting feverishly and scared of capture.

Lunch is prolly where these things are hatched anyway.
Less threatening to those who feel history is all sunshine and light.

Imagine...

"So, Henry, whatever are we going to do about this Communist Chappie, Allende?"

"Hmmmm, this Dover Sole is remarkable."

"Certainly is"

"Have some more wine, the quality here never ceases to amaze me"

"Maybe it's from Chile, haha"

"well, we certainly can't allow those copper mines to be run by a Commie, can we?"

"If you say so"

Voila! A conspiracy or lunch.

Clever.

Well said.

Reforming the CIA

Glaring flaws in the nation's intelligence-gathering apparatus were revealed yesterday with the testimony of former chief U.S. weapons inspector David Kay to the Senate Select Committee. His statement, "It's quite clear we need capabilities that we do not have with regard to intelligence," constitutes a prima facie case for a prewar failure by the CIA. It demonstrates how critical it is for the rot that has accumulated in the CIA before and during George Tenet's tenure to be purged, and for fundamental reforms to be started.
