CIA Airs Its Dirty Laundry

Kevin Whitelaw writes in U.S. News & World Report:

After fighting its release for more than a decade, the Central Intelligence Agency has published one of the most embarrassing accounts of its historical misdeeds on its website.

Much of the dirty laundry, which dates back to the 1960s and 1970s, has already been reported. But the 700-page compilation of internal documents, describing everything from plots to assassinate foreign leaders to surveillance operations of Washington reporters, is an uncomfortable reminder of the CIA's history of operating on the edge (or well over the precipice) of the law.
