Please. Let's deal with the present and leave the Cold War behind. Yes the Cold War created some monsters, but to blame the CIA for terrorism is crazy. The Soviet Union had many terrorist training camps in their hey day. They supported Khadaffi and South Yemenese, etc. The fundamentalists who toppled the Shah were also big-time terrorist supporters. The list goes on and on and none of them had CIA help. They were in fact our enemies. The US's main sin has been dependency on Arab oil, so we need to wean ourselves off it, but in fact we've been very humane and decent to the Arab world. We have made many of them very rich, we have terated them as equals, saved Kuwait, left Saddam in power, took no Iraqi oil after the war and have tried to be the peacebrokers so many times, AND we just liberated Afghanistan from a very evil bunch of terrorist types. Sure the CIA has skeletons in its closet, especially from during the Cold War, but that's a chapter of history which we can finally now close. right now we need a very strong CIA again and this includes the ability to assassinate the Osama Bin Lauden types wherever they may be hiding.
