It is those messin' around with lives, countries and such. I realize many there don't know what they are working on - that kind of need-to-know and deniability is built-in. When we say CIA we also usually mean those covert ops done by the other groups you have mentioned and some you have not - as a kind of shorthand. Perhaps we should be more exacting. Prouty made it pretty clear to me how it operated then between agencies, and I doubt if it has changed a lot. But thanks for the fine tuning.
Interesting you think Little might be smaller than that!
Thanks Pete: The shadow government, if you want to call it that, works through the CIA and other agencies in a very sensitive top secret arena) which is in direct contact with the Whitehouise and the NSC. (specialized operations) How many times have you heard me tell you and others, "... it was not a CIA operation....The CIA only worked as logistical support for our crews". Military covert operations and CIA covert operations are not the same, althought they sometimes work together in the same OPS., using cut-out of a, "civilian nature".
