Prior to the new national security atmosphere of the war on terror, what had separated americans from the historical abuses of the cia and fbi during the 1950s and 1960s?

For almost twenty years, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), of the United States, have been manipulated by counter-espies in the service of the State Security Committee (KGB), the security agency and espionage of the Soviet Union.

The intricate tale of Soviet manipulation by the US security and espionage services began in 1962, when Yuri Ivanovich Nosenko offered himself to the CIA to carry out espionage work.

Nosenko agreed to defect to the United States in 1964, after having secured for two years that he would remain in the Soviet Union. But in 1964 Nosenko told his American contacts in Geneva (Switzerland) that he was willing to defect to the United States, after he received a cable from Moscow ordering him to return to his country and, apparently, fearing that his relations with the CIA would have been discovered by the KGB.

in 1971 the team of "plumbers" was created in the White House, then under the administration of Richard Nixon, who was later the clandestine group responsible for the Watergate scandal, which culminated in the resignation of the president in 1974.

For 20 years, the CIA and the FBI in the United States managed to manipulate the espies in the service delivery of the committee of the state. The soviets manipulated the US security as well as the espionage services, but later Yuri offered to take over the work of the espionage.

Nosenkowas ready to defect the US after he has secured a two-year contract with the soviets. He was, however, ready to defect the soviet after he received a Moscow order that required him to go to his country since they feared that his relationship with fear had been known.
