Did the CIA Engineer Watergate to Get Rid of Nixon? - frontpagemag.com

When I was growing up Bob Woodward - one of the 2 reporters who brought down Richard Nixon - was one of my heroes. But then I read Deep Truth: The Lives of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Here's an excerpt from this great book:
"Whenever you run a clandestine operation, you run two things at the same time: you prepare the team for the hit, and you keep it so small there's nobody to spread it all around. And across the hall is a big staff working on what we call special plans. They're preparing the cover story. The cover story is what they want people to believe and to talk about, and to argue about." - From a 1992 speech by Col. Fletcher Prouty, former chief of special operations, Joint Chief of Staff - From the book
Here is another great quote from David Rockefeller's Memoirs:
"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years......It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries.”
