Supposedly Truman 'saw the light' - only too late...even a cursory internet search shows this:
Copilot Search - Yes — the quote “I never would have agreed to the formulation of the Central Intelligence Agency back in forty-seven, if I had known it would become the American Gestapo” is attributed to Harry S. Truman and appears in multiple reputable quote collections:
..."The CIA was created in 1947 under the National Security Act, consolidating intelligence functions from the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and other agencies. Truman himself has described in his memoirs that he was the one who “got a couple of admirals together” to form the agency and even called it “his invention” CIA. He saw it as a way to improve intelligence coordination after the chaos of World War II.
Truman’s later perspective:
While Truman supported the CIA’s creation at the time, later in life he expressed concern about its growing power and secrecy. The “American Gestapo” remark is a metaphorical criticism, suggesting he feared the agency’s potential for overreach, surveillance, and erosion of civil liberties. This sentiment aligns with his broader skepticism toward unchecked government power and his emphasis on freedom A-Z Quotes...."

After the recent whistleblower testimony, this good old See Eye A looks like a prime candidate for "epicenter of the Deep State".
