"Legacy of Ashes: A History of the CIA" : The CIA has a long history of lying.......

[Faryn Balyncd]

William Prodmore's review of "Legacy of Ashes: A History of the CIA" by Tim Weiner



"......It ran coups overthrowing elected governments and installing tyrants, for example in Iran, Guatemala, Congo, where Eisenhower ordered that Lumumba be eliminated, Chile and Greece. Against Cuba it used biological and chemical weapons, assassination attempts hiring Mafia hit men and a botched invasion. The CIA funded Italy's neo-fascist terrorists in the 1970s. It illegally spied on the American people.

"The CIA lied to Congress, the people and presidents, for example, Weiner notes its director Allen Dulles practice of deceiving the president. To cover for the CIA, presidents lied to Congress and the people. Weiner remarks that the CIA's testimony to Congress left the impression that the United States had hired a gang of conmen and thieves to run its foreign affairs....."

1. About fell out of my chair laughing when I saw a video of Kit Bond

faking outrage at the accusation that the CIA would lie to congress. What a fucking buffoon.
The CIA can't say hello without lying. And especially to a congress critter, one of the more gullible critters on earth.

3. If we're have problems with the integrity of the CIA, POTUS appoints its director - what will he do

about it?

Obama appointed Panetta. If Panetta is one more liar, then what?
