For some time I have been disturbed by the way (the) CIA has been diverted from its original assignment.... I never had any thought when I set up the CIA that it would be injected into peacetime cloak and dagger operations.... We have grown up as a nation, respected for our free institutions and for our ability to maintain a free and just society. There is something about the way the CIA has been functioning that is casting a shadow over our historical position, and I feel that we need to correct it.

Over the next 90 minutes, director William Karel builds a devastating indictment of that ignorant president—one surrounded by a cabal of cronies laughing all the way to the bank.
