Thanks again, Joseph.
One of the well-known political writers around (Peter Dale Scott?) once wrote that he had been studying the CIA for many years and eventually came to the conclusion that that it was not a "rogue" force in America government but a true instrument of U.S. Presidential policy. My own belief is that, as an agency, it supports some U.S. presidents more than others, but seems to have a life of its own, and it sure as hell had no love lost for JFK. Even Blakey eventually came around on that issue.
My brother, who was a Washington correspondent for Scripps-Howard for many years, once told me that every newly-elected representative in D.C. gets a lengthy visit from a "friend" in the CIA, explaining the agency's goals and Good Works.
Speaking of which... The Harvey and Lee thread on The Swamp was just shut down by an admin there, claiming there was no real debate. I only posted there because I was sick and tired of seeing the misrepresentations of John's work show up in Google searches.
