I don’t subscribe to the theories around CIA grand strategy there, the US has many fingers in many pies doesn’talways mean they’repulling the puppet strings.

I’ve learned a bit about that period, and Kerr really seemed to have a boner for using that power and being the big (conservative) dog.

Also i’m not sure its as simple now for the GG to go ahead and do that, i can’t remember the details but i think the GG’s requirements forbuse of that power were significantly tightened in its aftermath.
