Michael Hayden, the chief of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has made it unambiguous that the agency will come out with the work that James Schlesinger, then director of the agency, started in 1973 –A document describing the agency’s misdeeds in two decades- giving the impression that he intends to do some thing so as to attenuate the accusations raised against the agency by international media.

It was Mr. William Colby who first said that the agency had "done some things it shouldn't have". Now this document that is said to deal with affairs from 1950 – 1970; and it is likely that even in this collection of brutalities and misdeeds the CIA may hide any illegal activities. From

The Analyst Magazine has learned from reliable sources that the document may encompass of assassination plots of foreign leaders (including Cuba's Fidel Castro), opening of letters ‘to and from’ Russia and that ‘from and to’ China, wiretapping and close watch of journalists and human experiments.

 The full 693-page file elucidating CIA illegal activities is likely to be released by the end of June. Gen Hayden agreed that the document is “unflattering" but is a part of CIA’s history.

 Many officials were reluctant to extend support to this as they thought this may further taint the character of the agency. The chief made it clear that the intention of the document ("Family Jewels") is to furnish a "glimpse of a very different time and a very different agency".

 Now why CIA is doing this? Here is an incident to suggest one. Gen Hayden informed a conference of foreign strategy historians that they wanted people to know some of the illegal activities of agency - "This is about telling the American people what we have done in their name."

 Again the question persists, why now? Mr. Bush, President of US, suffered a blow in the last elections to the Senate and Congress. It is presumed that there could be a similar one in the next Presidential election. Much of the people are still unsatisfied with his explanations regarding the issue – ‘not withdrawing the US troops from Iraq’. Further much of the misdeeds of the CIA, with regard to the agency’s of late activities, are attributed to Mr. Bush. He may be happy if the agency release such a report now.
