Oh my god. It doesn’t stop. The gas pedal is on the floor. This book has blown my mind. The clearest investigative journalism I’ve read.

Very interesting look at the darkness surrounding the CIA and bureaucracy in general. Makes me that much more distrustful of the government; although nothing shocks me. Further proof that most people in government and politics have personality disorders (i.e. Bugliosi).
A little dissatisfied with the end. I didn’t feel that Manson, Jack Ruby, and the LSD experiments were tied up in a neat bow; however, I think that’s the point. The author does mention the ambiguity. I don’t know that we will ever know and if we do find out, all guilty parties will be long gone that it won’t make a difference.
