Cia

From 9/11 Encyclopedia:

The history of the CIA began with a plan of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was concerned about American intelligence deficiencies. He asked New York lawyer William J. Donovan to draft a plan for an intelligence service.

The Office of Strategic Services was established in June 1942
. (Due to some historicans, the early OSS was in reality created with some nazi money. 
Compare: -> Nazis in the Rebulican Party and USA -> "Shadow of the Swastika")

In October 1945, the OSS was abolished and its functions transferred to the State and War Departments. After some debate, on how a secret intelligence should be seperated from the work of the FBI, in 1946 President Harry S. Truman established the Central Intelligence Group with Rear Admiral Sidney W. Souers as the first director. Under the provisions of the National Security Act of 1947 (which became effective on 18 September 1947) the National Security Council (NSC) and the Central Intelligence Agency were established. In January 1952, CIA's intelligence functions were grouped under the Directorate for Intelligence (DDI). Many new sub divisions had been created, i.e. the the Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI ->), which engaged in basic scientific research; and the Office of Current Intelligence (OCI), which provided current political research.

During the late 90s, former CIA-members had been involved in the development of the Homeland Security, a long time before September 11th, at Anser or BENS. The evidence, that the CIA had prior knowledge on September 11th can be located in various references. Their long list of informants, moles and confirmed contacts with the official hijackers, their downplayed teamwork with other intelligence services (Yemen, Malaysia, Spain, France, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia) and the ignored warnings of others (Israel, UK, Russia, Germany etc...) point on the strong possibility, that the CIA knew or observed all 19 (20) hijackers before September 11th and was forced by their "contacts" in weapon- and oil industry, to let the attack happen on purpose (->LIHOP). 

To search for political criticism on the CIA would turn into a never ending study. 
On November 7th, 2002, Green MP Keith Locke was calling for the CIA to be classified a terrorist group after destroying a car 
carrying six al Qaeda members in Yemen. The cross reference links (and moles?) of the CIA would fill another book.
