CIA

I've been thinking and reading again about the activities of the CIA and their actions regarding US anti-communist foreign policy.  It seems to me there have been three truths regarding this policy.  First, some of the people we have funded over the years have been truly anti-communists.  Second, some of the people we have funded have been anti-communist because we paid them to be or because there was money to be made.  Third, some of the actions taken by the CIA in this area have not been worth the price we have had to pay in our national reputation.

I am now reading "The Secret History of the CIA" by Joseph J. Trento written in 2001.  Some of what he reports is very disturbing; one might hope they are not completely true.  I will attempt to post some of Trento's points in this blog under the heading of  "The CIA".
