| I think Scribler makes a very good argument but so does thx1138. When an organization, such as the CIA is routinely involved in secretly killing people just exactly how can this same organization be held accountable? After all we are not talking about a sunday school organization here.
Lets just take Scriblers advice for a moment and assume us voters have finally elected officials who are not corrupt. What then prevents the CIA from holding those officials hostage? The threat of being killed is a big motivator for anyone, even at the highest levels of government. As has already been brought up, it is not clear whether or not Kennedy might have stepped on some of those very toes. And even if you don't want to believe a conspiracy in our government IS possible, you have to admit that it COULD be possible under the circumstances in which they operate.
So just how does the American public really know that the "tail is not waging the dog" after all?
I'm not prepared to say the CIA should be giving up all their secrets either but somehow there has to be some accountability for this organization. Its a catch 22. |
