So, the CIA releases such information years later, when it's not of much relevance. 50 years from now, if they say they had a hand in some of the most inhuman things happening now, we would probably be indifferent. Not sure how can anyone hold them accountable for their actions. Probably none of those individuals who played a part in the coup would be around.



That's a strange comment. We knew a lot about what happened in Iraq just months after the war started and we know a lot more now. All the individuals responsible for that war are still around.

What we could ask now, though, is to what degree they were involved in the recent Egyptian coup. The US didn't really denounce the coup right away.


We wouldn't be indifferent. The emotional connection and ties would still be fresh.
