C.I.A. to Let "Skeletons" Out of its Closet

sgt_doom writes "The C.I.A. announced it was going to reveal "skeletons" by declassifying hundreds of pages of documents detailing illegal abuses over the years. As a preamble, the National Security Archive at George Washington University released a separate set of documents covering internal government deliberations of the abuses from January 1975. Mandatory reading for all those history-challenged individuals who believe government knows best!"

i am not surprised they left some things out like the cia run terrorist group in italy(and other European nations as well) killing people and blaming it on leftist groups during the cold war.

You mean like the ones who think this same government should decide who gets health care?

maybe people will assess themselves

[flushingmemos]

Let's get something clear - even the Cato's support the existence of the national security apparatus which has illegally and consistently pushed this country to the right, as these documents will show. So let's cut the glibbertarian BS: giving people health care isn't going to increase the power of Homeland Security, and destroying the Department of Education isn't going to get the CIA to stop fucking up lefties. But that you want to deny people health care and destroy public education in this country, THAT is a poduct of government intervention. You ask, but doesn't that show how evil government intervention is and so we should oppose those social programs? Go back to the top of the comment, genius.

Or if you want to find out what the US is actually like, just book a flight to Mexico and jump the border. Very likely you'll soon get amnesty from President Jorge Bush.
