from the book-
Secret Empire: Eisenhower, the CIA
"The story shows Dwight Eisenhower at his most decisive and shrewd, ready to listen to the advice of tough-minded outsiders, such as James Killian of MIT and Edwin Land of Polaroid, and to hand over critical projects to the CIA."
There are many many articles and books on Ike and the CIA...google it.
If you want to get to the source don't tell me about kennedy's involvement, govt was already knee deep in CIA ops before him. In that speech he is referring to a world shadow govt which exists today, plain as day. |
ahh yes, i stand corrected on eisenhower being the initiator, thanks for the clarification, i was recalling the facts from my college days.
but the fact remains, kennedy had no issues running covert government operations and certainly had no issues with not keeping the public completely informed.
