CIA should not be recruiting on university campuses

<snip> The CIA has for too long lied to us, supported terrorism, dictators and murderers and has repressed freedom throughout the world in the name of the United States, and its actions have ultimately made us less safe as a nation. <snip>

The CIA and our foreign policy have a specific agenda, which is found in the words of George Kennan, director of policy planning of the Department of State in 1948, “We have 50 percent of the world’s wealth but only 6.3 percent of its population… Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will allow us to maintain this position of disparity.” Sadly, too many of the policy elite today would probably agree with Kennan that we “should cease to talk about the raising of the living standards, human rights and democratization. The day is not far off when we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts.”

The so-called “War on Terror” is not a real concern of the CIA. If the CIA cared, they would arrest the terrorists living in America. According to “Rogue State” by William Blum, José Guillermo Garcia was the head of El Salvadorian death squads, which murdered thousands of “subversives.” The death squads led by Emmanual Constant (while he was on the CIA payroll) raped, murdered and tortured to spread fear in Haiti. Garcia now lives in Florida and Constant currently resides comfortably in New York. <snip>
