Kucinich stands against FISA Secret Session of Congress watch!
youtube.com — The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to [...] secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. -John F. Kennedy

Everyone needs to be aware of what it was so we can try to stop this kind of government corruption from taking place. I once read an article on Operation Mocking Bird that said the CIA had got an estimated 2,000,000 people killed. I thought that sounded like a ridiculous exaggeration, but is it? - mweber02, on 03/16/2008, -0/+2He said "barnyard expletive" in reference to Dick Cheney's infamous curse to another honorable gentleman.

I'm glad you feel that way, JFK.
JFK financed the assassination of the entire intellectual elite of Iraq in order to put the Baath party (Saddam Hussein) into power:
"In 1963, the Kennedy administration backed a coup against the government of Iraq headed by General Abdel Karim Kassem, who five years earlier had deposed the Western-allied Iraqi monarchy. The CIA helped the new Baath Party government led by Abdul Salam Arif in ridding the country of suspected leftists and Communists. In a Baathist bloodbath, the government used lists of suspected Communists and other leftists provided by the CIA, to systematically murder untold numbers of Iraq's educated elite — killings in which Saddam Hussein himself is said to have participated. The victims included hundreds of doctors, teachers, technicians, lawyers and other professionals as well as military and political figures.[29][30][31] According to an op-ed in the New York Times, the U.S. sent arms to the new regime, weapons later used against the same Kurdish insurgents the U.S. supported against Kassem and then abandoned. American and UK oil and other interests, including Mobil, Bechtel and British Petroleum, were conducting business in Iraq.[29]"

Kennedy ordered the use of Napalm and Agent orange in Vietnam.
Kennedy gave full political immunity and anonymity to the CIA, effectively creating a second government.
He overthrew democratic governments to fight communism:
"The Administration's response was to assist in the coup d'état of the Catholic President of South Vietnam, Ngo Dinh Diem.[22] In 1963, South Vietnamese generals overthrew the Diem government, arresting Diem and later killing him (though the exact circumstances of his death remain unclear)[23] Kennedy sanctioned Diem's overthrow. One reason for the support was a fear that Diem might negotiate a neutralist coalition government which included Communists, as had occurred in Laos in 1962. Dean Rusk, Secretary of State, remarked "This kind of neutralism…is tantamount to surrender."
