CIA failed test in Cyprus crisis
The CIA admitted its analytical performance fell short in predicting events during the 1974 Cyprus crisis. A CIA post mortem read to the House Select Committee on Intelligence blamed missed signals on the agency and criticized the State Department for inaction when predictions were correct. The hearing reviewed the coup, the Turkish invasion, and other crises, noting that CIA Athens agents did not inform the ambassador, and a warning to deploy the Sixth Fleet was ignored.
