Why was the CIA created how did Eisenhower use it during his presidency?

The CIA was created in 1947 as part of the National Security Act to coordinate and oversee U.S. intelligence activities, particularly in the context of the Cold War and the need to counter Soviet influence. During his presidency, Dwight D. Eisenhower utilized the CIA for covert operations aimed at containing communism, such as the overthrow of foreign governments in Iran (1953) and Guatemala (1954). This approach allowed Eisenhower to achieve foreign policy objectives without direct military intervention, relying instead on clandestine actions to influence international affairs.

Was Saddam Hussein tortured before death?

Answer 1I think he was by the shady organisation called the CIA, who's actions are made legal by a pariah state USA and anywhere else they're actions would be considered terrorism!Answer 2While the CIA has certainly tortured numerous people during the Iraq War, Saddam Hussein was treated relatively humanely all the way up to his hanging. Of course, this is an insult to the thousands of people he had barbarically murdered during his "presidency", many of whom would have liked to see him squeal.
