People also change, he probably hid some of his intentions from them. How can you judge someone's actions in 1959 with their despot reign in the 1990's? It takes a while for people to wise up to these types of things.

It is pretty obvious that the CIA used bad judgement, perhaps they should reconsider the policy of aiding military coup's to overthrow reigns they don't like.

Ummm...well, the CIA followed orders from the Executive Branch. And Congress pretty put and end to that kind of stuff in the 1970s...

OK. I don't know all the details, but you are refering to the presidential loophole right? (As in it's not an act of war unless congress approves, but otherwise it's the presidents choice?)
