The CIA article I had linked to Truman was all gungho in endorsing secrecy at all cost. But the point is moot. I was going to show it a counter to:"I never had any thought that when I set up the CIA that it would be injected into peacetime cloak and dagger operations." In '51 he said the military and other necessary functions should be protected at all costs. This guy set up the NSA to compete with CIA which competed with an FBI overseas operation. Hairy Ass loved spygame incursions
