I just read in the New York Times that the CIA will release documents of decade old misdeeds committed by the CIA during the 1960s and 1970s. As usual, they contain livid details of spying, both domestic and international, assasination plots (only plots??), cold war material and a lot of other weird stuff similar to what we have read in Robert Ludlum or Baldacci like books or watched in thriller movies.
Now the paradox is that those documents are codenamed….”family jewels”. Yeah right, family jewels!!!!! And then, the CIA director, Gen. Michael V. Hayden took the comedy to a higher level! Watch this……
On June 11th 2007, he told a group of historians who had long pressed for greater disclosure of C.I.A. archives, described the documents, as “a glimpse of a very different time and a very different agency. Yeah right, a different time and a different agency??
I beg for a thousand apologies….., on second thoughts, I think he was right, it is a different agency and a different time! Think about Guantanamo Bay, extraordinary rendition, secret overseas detention program (sounds like an education program?), domestic tap-ins,wiretaps,
