Just yesterday the CIA released a multitude of documents detailing their actions back in the 60's and 70's.

The documents reveal dozens of assassination plots, some which were successful, dozens of coup attempts, also a few succssful ones, drug testing on average American citizens, spying on anti-war and civil rights leaders, and much more.
They say that these 'new revelations' show a 'bad period' in their history, and that they don't do this sort of thing anymore.
Anyone else find that hard to believe? I mean, they refer to these documents, which on one hand they call bad, but refer to them as 'family jewels', like they are proud of em.
The one thing every plot has in common is this - they all can be defined as acts of terrorism against the governments they were perputrated against.
It's funny to see America, which is so anti-terrorist now releasing documents showing for two decades they supported worldwide terrorism and funded it. The supported spying on their own citizens, and attempted to limit rights within their own borders.
