The Lost Legacy of Otis Pike

[MinM]

7. Unfortunately Pike's career subsequently took a hit ..

@lisapease: Previous tweet: actual statement by CIA counsel when Rep. Pike tried to hold CIA accountable. CIA was left untouched. Pike's career died.

@lisapease: "The Pike Committee, alone among the other investigations, refused to sign secrecy agreements with the CIA." http://consortiumnews.com/2014/02/06/when-the-cias-empire-struck-back/ …

Much like what happened in the wake of the Church Committee ..

The late '70s FBI sting operation known as Abscam was ostensibly political payback for the work of the Church Committee.

@lisapease: I wrote an article years back called "Who's Running the Country?" and concluded the CIA was, because no one has had the upper hand with them

@lisapease: All presidents since JFK have been cowed by the CIA. Obama is no exception. Can you blame them? I can't, even as I decry the cowardice.
