And by the way that whole thing about JFK approving more CIA operations than Eisenhower is really deceiving.
Simply because, Mongoose was made up of dozens of small covert operations.
But you want to compare that with:
1. The overthrow of Arbenz which led to the eventual deaths of 200,000 people in Guatemala.
2. The overthrow of Mossadegh, which led to the deaths and imprisonments of tens of thousands in Iran and was an indirect cause of the spread of Islamic fundamentalism in the Middle East. Which JFK warned about in his 1957 Algeria speech. (RFK ordered a State Department memo on what the costs and liabilities would be in returning Mossadegh to power.)
3. The attempted overthrow of Sukarno in Indonesia.
4. The attempted murder of Lumumba,and according to Stockdale, the getting rid of his body, which again unleashed the deaths of tens of thousands of Congolese.
These people have so little in depth knowledge of history, and they trust the worst sources, that is why I call them the Loony Left.
