CIA Still Committing Same Abuses for Which It Was Called on the Carpet in the 70s

Nixon reinstated Sullivan to the FBI after Hoover'd death and wanted to make him director but he ultimately went for L. Patrick Gray. Sullivan became a critic of the FBI's COINTELPRO program designed to infiltrate various political groups in the country. Sullivan died on November 9, 1977 from an "accidental" gun shot while he was deer hunting in New Hampshire. Sullivan was due to provide the House Committee on Assassinations with information about the JFK and King assassinations.

A March 1972, CIA report describes the type of non-official cover firms the CIA used in the past. This definition correctly describes the Brewster Jennings & Associates weapons of mass destruction cover company exposed by the Bush-Cheney White House in 2003: "As a part of CIA operations abroad, arrangements are made with a number of U.S. entities to serve as the ostensible sponsor of individuals abroad. This can include business entities controlled by the CIA or proprietaries. While they may exist within the U.S., their purpose is to conduct or support operations abroad."

The French have a saying, "the more things change, they more they stay the same."
