The cia also werent helped by the fact that the name of that program was called chaos, and had very negative connotations, even though the cia insists that it was just a randomly chosen code name. 40 years later, we are still talking about these two committees. Just how significant were they . Well theyre very significant for the cia and the fbi. The fbi had been conducting its own very questionable activities under j. Ed dpar hoover, and those get very tcurtailed. The Central Intelligence agency permanently established by the senate by the congress thats not just a kind of blip on the radar. Its permanently under supervision, which is why we get now for example dianne feinstein, who has an investigation into the cias enhanced interrogation tactics, thats kind of coming from the foundations of oversight that get laid down by the church and the pike committees, and theyre also very important for ushering in a new era in the cia in the sense that a lot of the more active or more you migh

Bute are serious problems, they are also the largest sponsor in every way of terrorism. Not just in the region but latin america. They support hezbollah. We have to deal with that threat. We have to push them back in that regard. Made harder because it will have at least 100 billion in fresh capital to carry out their agenda.
