Article in NY Times predicted Kennedy's assassination almost two months before it happened [View all]

Despite the claims that relations with the agency were only momentarily strained by the embarrassment to the U.S. government and the CIA due to the failed invasion, withheld intelligence and a general atmosphere of distrust led to the Kennedy brothers firing Allen Dulles, Richard M. Bissell and Charles P. Cabell in November 1961. Allen Dulles, who had been the head of the CIA was replaced by John McCone.[12] After the assassination Dulles lobbied hard to be part of the investigation.[13][14]

A particularly noteworthy article concerning Kennedy's relationship to the CIA was written by journalist Arthur Krock, published in the New York Times on Oct 3, 1963. [font color="#0000A0"]The article, titled "The Intra-Administration War in Vietnam", quoted a high-ranking official in the government as saying "The CIA's growth was 'likened to a malignancy" which the "very high official was not even sure the White House could control...any longer." "If the United States ever experiences (an attempt at a coup to overthrow the government) it will come from the CIA and not the Pentagon." The "agency represents a tremendous power and total unaccountability to anyone."[/font]
