letter to rep

Dear senator Feinstein

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I would like to talk to about the mismanagement of information and transparency by The Central Intelligence Agency. From its inception in the 1940’s the CIA has misused its power, abusing the rights of American civilians, drugging them without their prior knowledge or consent, torture and attempted brainwashing of civilians, the spending millions of dollars on fruitless projects, the assassination of foreign leaders, the funding of foreign military of enterprises, doing this all under the permission of the National Security Act giving them free reign to do what they pleas without having to answer to any authority or share the maters of their actions. It is a ghastly thing that this happened in the pass but it is bright and promising that steps are being taken to counter this with the formation of the Senate Intelligence Comity taking steps to bring the CIA to accountability.

Grater bounds are being made today in the legislative and executive branches through the Obama Administration’s Executive Order 13526, in that information on actions that have been committed as well as ones to come will start to become transparent and available to the American people. Also the amendments made to The National Security Act made by Congress and the creation as well as reworking of The Annual Intelligence Authorization Acts making it so that the CIA must answer to the higher government authority, approve their actions and added limits to what they can do. These are all great things that have happened in order to protect the citizens and keep the CIA in check but more still needs to happen, The CIA should have to go through all three branches of government to get approval for their proposed action while all of this is within total view of the public so that they will know what is going on and not have that information hidden from them. I think this will lead to a stronger trust and involvement in the government by the people helping to build a stronger country.
