Ancient History
Everyone. I mean EVERYONE knows that this is all just a bunch of ancient history ...... right?
USA Today leads with, and everyone fronts, a look at the hundreds of pages of documents, known as the "family jewels," the CIA released yesterday that detail the agency's illegal activities from the 1950s to the early 1970s. Although many portions of the documents were blacked out, they detail how the CIA tried to carry out assassination plots against foreign leaders, illegally spied on Americans, and carried out medical experiments.You mean government intelligence agencies used to spy on U.S. citizens, assassinate foreigners, hold prisoners indefinitely without due process and do Mengele-like experiements on humans? Wow. That's really hard to believe!
There have been big changes since then. New laws. Oversight. Checks and balances. And the Pentagon intelligence services now entering the fray.
