Professor John Newsinger and the CIA

Professor John Newsinger is a senior lecturer in history at the School of Humanities and Cultural Industries, Bath Spa University.

The following is what he has said in a  review that was published in the journal Race & Class (Vol 50. No. 4, April 2009, p.107):

The starting point for any serious consideration of terrorism as a global phenomenon is recognition that the most dangerous terrorist organisation at work in the post-1945 period has been the Central Intelligence Agency.

He goes on to argue that the CIA is a “multi-billion dollar criminal conspiracy” that is “in the service of the US empire.”

I wonder if this is what he teaches his students.
