President Trump just exposed Arthur Schlesinger’s full 15-page memo calling for President John F. Kennedy (JFK) to break up the CIA in 1961. Schlesinger called the CIA a rogue “state within a state.” “No one knows how many potential problems … are being created by CIA clandestine operations.”
Schlesinger: “The contemporary CIA possesses many of the characteristics of a state within a state.” “There is no doctrine governing our conduct of clandestine operations.”
Schlesinger slammed the idea that the CIA should “fight fire with fire” to defeat communism. “If fighting fire with fire means contracting the freedoms traditionally enjoyed by Americans in order to give more freedom to the CIA, no one seriously wishes to do that.”
