Reply #34: Carter thought he was, but found out otherwise.

CIA never told him what they were up to or who they were serving. One example is the off-the-book funding of CIA covert action from the "Safari Club" nations, including Saudi Arabia. So, the Iran hostages stayed put and a Reagan-Bush white house resulted.

PS: I remember then-President Carter once mentioned the assassination of President Kennedy during a live TV talk and, at that moment, the screen went dark and the program went off the air. I also recall a reporter who wrote at the time that there were two taboo subjects in American journalism -- the JFK assassination and UFOs. Perhaps that is why both subjects get linked in the rhetoric of the professional debunkers. I've searched the Internets high and low and have not found info on the above. If I do, I'll get it to you yurbud.
