mintpressnews | A former CIA analyst believes the CIA
and National Security Agency have become so powerful that the president
is afraid to act against them when they break the law.
Ray McGovern retired from the CIA in
1990, following nearly 30 years of service to the agency. He was awarded
the Intelligence Commendation Medal, which is given to agents who offer
“especially commendable service” to the agency.
Outraged over the CIA’s open use of torture, he returned the medal in 2006 and became an antiwar activist. He was arrested in 2011 for a silent protest against a speech by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
