I did actually spend two years writing reports on the institution which is the CIA. I've have spent hours inside government documents section of my College Library. The actions the CIA took during the late 1970's and early 1980's quite disturbing. There is many declassified documents which even the most skeptical would find disturbing. Most people haven't taken the time too page through such documents though. Even though I find Ronald Reagan too be a great American President, he should have been Impeached. This would be an entirely different post which would go on for hours. When I first started research into the CIA it wasn't based upon Conspiracy. I found the CIA to be mysterious and even wanted to be an agent some day. Conspiracy revealed itself without much effort simply reading old government documents. Even though, by law, CIA agents aren't allowed too conduct operations within the United States, the law is broken on a regular basis. The secrecy and absolute freedom, of any CIA member, makes corruption very simple compared too any Political Institution. I met a retired NSA agent once. There's one thing he said which sticks in my mind till this day. " Any political official who finds himself in hot water doesn't find himself there without the aid of an intelligence. What he's accused of is normally fabricated and has nothing to do with the reason his career is being destroyed."
