Remember, the years where they could simply launch a completely unauthorized coup in a foreign country are still within living memory, and well within institutional memory, and I’m sure there’s enough spooks that absolutely want that sort of power back.

I thought that was within living memory because that shit was still happening right now, and they just tend to declassify shit that's like 50 years old that they don't care about anymore, so that's why we only ever hear about the ones that happened 50 years ago.
