fire up your jets

here's something to look forward to:

The CIA will declassify hundreds of pages of long-secret records detailing some of the intelligence agency's worst illegal abuses -- the so-called "family jewels" documenting a quarter-century of overseas assassination attempts, domestic spying, kidnapping and infiltration of leftist groups from the 1950s to the 1970s, CIA Director Michael V. Hayden said yesterday.

CIA Dirty Laundry:
Why now? And why stop at ~1978? Also, the headlines mentioned "drug experiments" but the article gave no details - will details be coming out later?
All these questions are just to say we really don't expect TRUTH, or "anything we didn't allready sort of know", like assassinating Castro plans.
The real juciy stuff happened in the 1980s, like the Bolivian "Cocaine Coup". America needs to hear about why the letters "CIA" stands for "Cocaine Importing Agency", and how the CIA go so many Americans onto cocaine. And the Heroin from Vietnam - not one dealer was ever arrested for any of that heroin that came to the USA from Vietnam during the war. [another 'Washington reason' for wanting to keep the war going as long as possible].
