Too many strawmen to burn in one sitting. But as far as the sanctity of the CIA... here's the CIA, as described by ex-CIA agents and officers;

"The CIA is not now nor has it ever been a central intelligence agency. It is the covert action arm of the President's foreign policy advisers. In that capacity it overthrows or supports foreign governments while reporting "intelligence" justifying those activities. It shapes its intelligence, even in such critical areas as Soviet nuclear weapons capability, to support presidential policy. Disinformation is a large part of its covert action responsibility, and the American people are the primary target of its lies."

The CIA is expected to lie, even (especially?) under oath. I assume the same parameters apply to the other "intelligence" agencies. The tone was set for this type of activity by none other than Allen Dulles during his testimony before the Warren Commission;

(From Paul Hoch's chapter in The Assassinations: Dallas and Beyond, A Guide to Cover-Ups and Investigations.)

The Commission members clearly understood the worthlessness of a categorical denial from an intelligence agency. As a matter of policy, they were told, the CIA would lie to protect an informant or agent, unless otherwise instructed by the President:

REP. [HALE] BOGGS: Let's say [U-2 pilot Gary] Powers did not have a signed contract but he was recruited by someone in CIA. The man who recruited him would know, wouldn't he?

MR. [ALLEN W.] DULLES [FORMER CIA DIRECTOR]: Yes, but he wouldn't tell.

THE CHAIRMAN [EARL WARREN]: Wouldn't tell it under oath?

MR. DULLES: I wouldn't think he would tell it under oath, no.

THE CHAIRMAN: Why?

MR. DULLES: He ought not tell it under oath. Maybe not tell it to his own government but wouldn't tell it any other way. [sic]

MR. [JOHN J.] McCOY: Wouldn't he tell it to his own chief?

MR. DULLES: He might or might not. If he was a bad one then he wouldn't ... I would tell the President of the United States anything, yes, I am under his control. He is my boss. I wouldn't necessarily tell anybody else, unless the President authorized me to do it. We had that come up at times.

(Does anybody reading the above statement from none other than Allen Dulles really think that intelligence assets give a shit about using their real names? Why should they care? They are authorized to lie under oath, deny that they are agents or assets, and so is their recruiter, who might not even tell his higher up that so-and-so is an asset. Judge ye not by anonymous handle. Judge by action.)

With the tone set by an agency stalwart like Dulles, Richard Helms took this advice to heart in 1977. John Stockwell describes his less than positive experience with the CIA in his book, "In Search of Enemies";

"...What about the oath of secrecy I signed when I first joined the CIA in 1964? I cannot be bound to it for four reasons: First, my oath was illegally, fraudulently obtained. My CIA recruiters lied to me about the clandestine services as they swore me in. They insisted the CIA functioned to gather intelligence. It did not kill, use drugs, or damage people's lives, they assured me. These lies were perpetuated in the following year of training courses. It was not until the disclosures of the Church and Pike Committees in 1975 that I learned the full, shocking truth about my employers...

...the congressional committees disclosed CIA activities which had previously been concealed, which I could not rationalize...

...There were other disclosures which appalled me: kinky, slightly depraved, drug/sex experiments involving unwitting Americans, who were secretly filmed by the CIA for later viewing by pseudo-scientists of the CIA's Technical Services Division.

For years I had defended the CIA to my parents and to our friends. "Take it from me, a CIA insider," I had always sworn, "the CIA simply does not assassinate or use drugs..."

But worse was to come. A few short months after the CIA's shameful performance in Vietnam, of which I was a part, I was assigned to a managerial position in the CIA's covert Angola program. Under the leadership of the CIA director we lied to Congress and to the 40 Committee, which supervised the CIA's Angola program. We entered into joint activities with South Africa. And we actively propagandized the American public, with cruel results - Americans, misguided by our agents' propaganda, went to fight in Angola in suicidal circumstances... Our secrecy was designed to keep the American people from knowing what we were doing - we fully expected an outcry should they find us out.

The CIA's oath of secrecy has been desecrated in recent years, not by authors - Philip Agee, Joe Smith, Victor Marchetti, and Frank Snepp - but by the CIA directors who led the CIA into scandalous, absurd operations...

Their cynicism about the oath, and their arrogance toward the United States' constitutional process, were exposed in 1977, when former director Richard Helms was convicted of perjury for lying to a Senate committee about an operation in Chile... After receiving a suspended sentence, Helms stood with his attorney before television cameras, while the latter gloated that Helms would wear the conviction as a "badge of honor". Helms was proud of having lied to the Senate to protect a questionable CIA operation..." - pp. 9-11, Norton hardback.

In the Turner (!) production, "Secrets of the CIA" several ex-CIA agents and assets tell it like it is;

"The CIA is a state-sponsored terrorist association... You don't look at people as human beings, they're nothing but pieces of material." - Verne Lyon, ex-CIA deep cover asset.

Mr. Leser is living proof that a sucker is born every minute.

This guy's not to bright is he? He hasn't done his homework or he's a gatekeeper.

The statement "All the people would have to be in on it" is an assumption. As a matter of fact he makes alot of assumptions!
