This is utter ignorance. He served at a critical time. Ford installed him very early after Nixon's resignation. It was a low time for the CIA having been blamed for the all the terrible things they did at the previous President's explicit direction.
I don't actually think it is ignorance. This conspiracy-mongering website is intentionally "forgetting" to include anything that would detract from it's conspiracy theory. Theories about actual reality aren't afraid to mention inconvenient facts.
- simplicio 4y agoYea, putting aside any other ties he may have had with the CIA, its hardly a mystery why the CIA would make a big deal out of the death of a former director who went on to be a US Prez.
