"CIA to Reveal Long-Secret Documents" by Scott Shane, NYT News Service
There was also a conversation in which Henry A. Kissinger, then serving as both secretary of state and national security adviser, denounced the efforts of CIA director William E. Colby to push an aggressive investigation of the agency’s past transgressions.
Kissinger said the accusations then appearing daily about agency misconduct were “worse than in the days of McCarthy.”
“What Colby has done is a disgrace,” Kissinger said.
“Should we suspend him?” Ford asked.
“No,” Kissinger said, “but after the investigation is over, you could move him and put in someone of towering integrity.” A year later, Ford replaced Colby with George H. W. Bush.
[George H. W. Bush a man of "towering integrity"? No comment!]
