Very interesting look at the darkness surrounding the CIA and bureaucracy in general. Makes me that much more distrustful of the government; although nothing shocks me. Further proof that most people in government and politics have personality disorders (i.e. Bugliosi).
A little dissatisfied with the end. I didn’t feel that Manson, Jack Ruby, and the LSD experiments were tied up in a neat bow; however, I think that’s the point. The author does mention the ambiguity. I don’t know that we will ever know and if we do find out, all guilty parties will be long gone that it won’t make a difference.
