The Man Nobody Knew

documentary

Life of William Colby, former head of the CIA...done by his son. Heavily sanitized. Almost hagiographic. It was astonishing to me that this guy was ably to muster so many high-level, totally unreconstructed cold warriors to defend Colby, the Phoenix program, the Vietnam War, the CIA, secrecy in government, etc.

On screen were such champions of US and world freedom and democracy as Donald Rumsfeld, Madame Nhu, Henry Kissinger.

An outrageous and unforgivable whitewash at this date. I don't care if Colby was his father. Truth is truth, lies are lies, torture and murder are bad things and it's time Colby junior came to grips with that. The CIA is a foul excrescence that has done immeasurable harm to this country's moral fiber and standing in the world since its founding and should be torn into tiny little pieces and scattered to the four winds.
