Don't expect the corporate media to examine the CIA's more recent operations too critically (or report on them at all) - they're riddled with "ex" CIA and other government agents: https://dailycaller.com&

This is one step in a long march. If you can remember this march, the next step is obvious. The Civil Rights Act didn't directly ban using IQ tests for hiring/promotions, yet that's how the courts eventually interpreted it [1
