cyndrwllr,

Re: (They) sold it to us based on distortions and exaggerations. In the process they've also undermined the press and individual freedoms, and in so doing they have subverted democracy. That's, under any definition, a travesty.


Hey, look on the bright side. 50 years ago, the CIA was invovlved not just in undermining the press and individual freedoms and subvert democracy in Iran. Heck, we actually hired competing mobs in order to create total chaos in Tehran. Look on the bright side. This hasn't happened in New York, yet.

There's a really nice package of information on "All the Shah's Men" here at Democracy NOW! Proof that our government is fully capable of evil.
