Very diplomatically put.

"But I think a lot of the methods were way wrong, that the evidence that they were wrong was easily available, and that the evidence was ignored for reasons that were stupid at best, self-serving at worst."

And more evidence just became available: check out the report just completed on Guatamala in the early 1980s. The CIA and the Reagan administration--those heroic protectors of freedom and justice for all--were complicit in the murder of perhaps 200,000 Guatamalan people. Not just the murder, but the systematic and brutual torture of whole villages. Well, they were just Injuns, and maybe commie sympathizers at that, so its just as well. And, of course, it still pales beside Uncle Joe's atrocities. And how could Smiling Ron ever actually support those kinds of things? Never!
