3. Bill Moyers' " The Secret Government " video segment

It aired on PBS in 1987 and is as good as anything on the tape (must

see). Moyers is a very respected TV journalist who also worked for

Lyndon B. Johnson and has a very professional approach. He interviews

many different people involved with the CIA and other government

agencies. His documentary gives quite an overview of what has

actually happened in the last 50 years regarding the CIA and the cold

war (including Iran, Guatamala, Cuba, Viet Nam and Chile). He

features such people as Ralph McGeehee and Phil Retinger (both former

CIA agents), Rear Admiral Gene La Rocque (Ret. U.S.N.), Theodore

Bissell (active in the CIA at the time), Sen. Frank Church and many

others. Moyers is so very credible. The full video " The Secret

Government " is 90 minutes - this segment is edited by Frank Dorrel to
