Tim Weiner exposes CIA operations

Tim Weiner's "Legacy of Ashes" is the hidden history of the CIA: why eleven presidents and three generations of CIA officers have been unable to understand the world; why nearly every CIA director has left the agency in worse shape than he found it; and how these failures have profoundly jeopardized our national security. Tim Weiner is a reporter for The New York Times. He has written on American intelligence for twenty years, and won the Pulitzer Prize.

CIA is an embarrassment for the U.S. with its history of assassinations against other countries we must stop it now

[pat442389]

u clearly kno nothing about history... the cia has destroyed many parts of the world and killed or caused the killing and misery of millions of ppl all across south america & asia. they have murdered americans, sold guns illegally and got huge amounts of drugs into this country. their rumored to have killed JFK and at the least covered up a lot of evidence. theyre all criminals that need to fired. they couldnt stop 911 MLK, RFK or JFKs assassination. couldnt see the collaspe of russia.

The CIA was a disaster waiting to happen right from the beginning. Guess who President Truman hired as its first Director: Allen Dulles, who along with his brother John Foster Dulles was a ranking member and co-founder of the Council on Foreign Relations along with Edward Mandell House. President Franklin Roosevelt invited the CFR into the State Department and it eventually took over the State Department. Look up in YouTube: shadows of power james perloff.

@myiuer CIA is the Central Intelligence Agency, It is a arm of government that deals with WMDs (Weapons of mass destruction), Terrorism, Espionage ect. FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) attends to murder, rape, abductions ect. All countrys have similar branches of government such as CSIS for Canada.
