What Do WE Know??
"If it Works ... Leave It Be"?? That seems to be the attitude toward our National Security Apparatus (NSC, CIA, Defense Dept, etc.) we have lived under, over the past 57 years, That's when President Harry Truman (by EXECUTIVE ORDER, for some parts) created our Natinal Security State. From 1947 to the end of the Eisenhower Administration, most citizens were unaware of our complete Defense and Economic reorganization. The Bay of Pigs was the first time I took notice of the CIA and its activities. It was on front pages of most newspapers. Then, came the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Assassination of President Kennedy. The CIA suddenly loomed much larger in our national consciousness.
President Truman later came to regret aspects of the CIA and wondered if it should be allowed to continue in existence. Obviously it has, without much public concern, until this past week. The Senate Report on Torture is the vehicle prompting return of public attention to the machinations of that agency. Serious Finger-Pointing is going on!; in the open,! Tweets, even!; between the Senate of the United States, and the CIA. Will it survive? Is it time for massive reorganization? In this GLOBAL Economy, is the shift from a National Focus on Security long overdue? Can Obama do it? Will the all-Repoob Congress Prevent It? These are the questions that our feckless MEDIA seems incapable of asking.
For years, we citizens have been left with the impression that the "Agency" would "operate" only outside the country; NEVER inside! Now, we're not so sure??
Stay Vigilant! Does "somethin' gotta give' ? before this mess blows over??
