I could quote you chapter and verse about a lot of things, SHC, but given that I'd be running the risk of violating my security clearance, I'm sure you'll understand if I refrain from doing so. Suffice to say, your interpretation of how things were then is sadly lacking and quite frankly insulting.
I liked that bit at the end of the first Bourne movie where Abbott lies his pants off to the oversight committee or whatever. It shows that, yes, these guys can be held accountable for their actions, and the watchmen watching the watchmen are just as fallible. Any significant inquiry into Treadstone would have blown the lid off Abbott's lies in a New York Minute.
